Long‐term evolution of superficial optic disc drusen

Optic disc drusen (ODD) is hyaline deposits in the optic nerve head seen in 1–2% of the population. Long‐term evolution of ODD anatomy and visual field defects in ODD patients is a key factor for learning more about pathophysiology and prognosis of the condition. With a median follow‐up period of 56 years, this is the first study that evaluates superficial optic disc anatomy and visual fields in patients with ODD over a life span.
