Optic nerve head drussion

[Jamrollypolly]

I was just wondering if anyone on here has this condition?

I do! Diagnosed recently. I was told opticians tend to get a bit over-excited about it during sight tests and refer on, which is what happened to me. Cue a few weeks of worry and it all looks benign and normal - I'll have another checkup in a few months to double check all is fine.

Same story for you?

I was beginning to think I was the only one! I was diagnosed about a year ago. Initially I went to the opticians because my left eye was constantly watery (blocked tear duct), he discovered swelling at the back of the eye and made an urgent referral. I've been having check ups every3-6 months ever since. I'm just terrified I'll loose my sight one day, I'm only in my 30s.

How about you? Do you have any symptoms?
