Can people with Retinitis pigmentosa work? What kind of work can they perform?
See how people with experience in Retinitis pigmentosa give their opinion about whether people with Retinitis pigmentosa can work and what kind of jobs are more appropriated for people with Retinitis pigmentosa
Yes working a job is possible. I think that this is a very personal choice and everyone is different. The only job we aren't allowed to have would be a driving instructor HA.

People with RP can work to the point when they need to adjust due to the loss of their vision. Then they need to find a job allowing them to carry it out without vision.
Legal blindness also enforces some additional compulsory surrenders of driving licence, guns etc.

Yes, it's completely depending on the work. I havnt lost that much vision yet but i work in theater.

Due to limited field vision and oftrn only central vision . A person can work but would have to know their limitations.

Yes definitely! I am a teacher and have severe loss of hearing in one ear, moderate loss in the other. I have no periferal vision, night blind, have flashers and floaters. So if I can do it anyone can! The condition is a barrier yes, but barriers can be overcome with the right support and guidance x

they can do anything they feel comfortable still doing due to the condition affecting people differently at different times.
