Long term risk: Macular drusen usually occur in both eyes and shows a strongly inherited pattern. As time passes and the drusen either enlarge or become confluent, then sometimes the vision is affected. This would be rare in a 32 year old; the inheritance pattern is well described. You should have them looked at about every 2-3 years for a while.

Too young: Too young for drusen in the classic sense (macular-degeneration). Get another opinion from a retina specialist and have your family members examined as well.
