Optic Disc Drusen Blindspots

I was told I had optic disc drusen about year n half ago. In the last few months I've gotten these blindspot for about 10-15 mins in my centre vision accompanied with a slight headach, pressure pain in the back of my eye. Can be quite a large spot where I can't see my hands of objects in front of me. I see a grey haze cloud like thing. After 10-15 mins I got my normal vision back. Should I be concerned about this? Does the drusen cause this? I also have high eye pressure

you need to see your ophthalmologist for a repeat examination including a "visual field test" but that is not the kind of blindspots optic nerve drusen (OND) cause. They are permanent and always there. Note most cases of OND do not cause major loss of peripheral vision. What you describe is more characteristic of eye (ophthalmic) migraine or transient ischemic attack. The former much more likely if you are in good health. See your eye MD
