    So today I did an eye test for my drivers license and they found my disc margins to be swollen. They have referred me to a specialist I'm just wondering has anyone had this problem before ? Thanks guys
    Btw I'm only 17 b

    It's probably just the optometrist being cautious. Have you ever had your eyes tested before?

    No, only chart reading ones but never had pics taken or anything

    So because you have never had the health of the eye looked at before it coulf be that the margin is simply indistinct and not swollen. But to be on the safe side I would always get it checked further. It's the type of thing that if it's been there for years, it's fine, but if it's new, it should be investigated.
    Try not to worry too much

    Do you know how they would check this ?
