I recently went to the ophthalmologist due to seeing cloudy spots in my vision on and off for several months. My vision is good, 20/20, but they took scans of my eyes and told me my optic nerves are swollen. And I also have some drusen in my left eye. She was worried about intercranial pressure, and sent me to my dr and a neurologist. MRIs and neuro testing have all come up normal. Nobody can explain what's happening. Just looking for any kind of Info on what this could be.. waiting on an appointment with a different ophthalmologist for further analysis. Thanks in advance!

Try contacting the Macular Society, they have expert advice on a wide range of eye conditions. Details on their website. Good luck with whatever you discover.
I had something similar, without drusen. Turned out I had an idiopathic bleed. A year and a 5 shots later it has regressed. My vision was and still is 20/20 but that doesn’t mean something isn’t wrong. They need to dig deeper.
