My sister was recently diagnosed with optic nerve drusen and I would like to know anything about this disease.

Type in optic nerve head drusen and a ton of web sites will pop up or type in The Handbook of Ocular Disease Management.
There is a ton of info too much to try and translate back to you. If you go the handbook one you will find everything you want to know.

I have optic nerve drusen in both eyes. I was young when I was diagnosed, so we patched one eye at a time to retrain them to see again. My vision in my right eye went from 20/200 to 20/60 :-) Report It

you can go to search and type in optic nerve drusen and you can find out more there about it.
