Optical nerve drusen are a congenital disorder of the optic nerve that can be seen on a dilated eye exam. They are seen as one or more raised areas on the optic nerve head that are composed of bundles of glial tissue. They commonly have no effect on the visual function, but can occasionally be responsible for an increased blind spot. However, this is usually only seen with a visual field exam in an eye doctor's office.
