The article presents the examination data of children with druses in optic nerve disk. The characteristic of functional disturbances in these patients is given. The proposed examination algorithm includes a number of highly informative research techniques, which reduce the time for diagnostics and exclude the necessity of expensive, but less informative methods of examination.

Key words: optic disc druses, diagnostics, algorithm of examination.
