We report the case of a 38‐year‐old male patient with a 1‐year history of progressively blurred vision in his left eye. He visited our clinic and underwent a series of ophthalmologic examinations including computed tomography, fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography. The final diagnosis was optic nerve head drusen and combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium in his left eye.
