Can people with Visual Snow work? What kind of work can they perform?

People with visual snow CAN work but it can be difficult depending on your job functions. Computer screens are hard to deal with as are bright lights.

According to the degree of symptoms, a person can work in any fields.

As long as the task and setting suits. It can be hard as severe cases may be forced out of their professions which can make finding work difficult

Any work is acceptable but computer work is sometimes problematic.

You can do anything. It is not inhibiting.

It depends on the severity of the individual. It might be more difficult but they should be able to work under most conditions. However, being behind a computer scene for long periods off time can worsen VS.

Most can work in any field of work but those with very frequent migraines may work less.

I have not found any significant limitations in the work I can perform because of my Visual Snow. Reading a computer screen all day, however, can make my Visual Snow worsen. I also have had this condition since early childhood so others may find it more difficult to cope with their symptoms.

Sure they can do anything.

For me personally the VS (visual snow) isn't overly impairing. I'd say that those with VS can chose what they should and shouldn't do based on the severity. I know for me personally, my VS is decently impairing when it comes to night vision so I definitely would avoid working in the dark due to the risks it would put everyone in.
It can be really hard to determine how severe the VS is so I'd say it's their choice if they should work in certain conditions in the workforce. As for the percentage, I'd say 100% of people with VS work in any field, but that's really only a guess because there aren't really restrictions for those with VS from what I know.

Sure can, it's not a physical condition.
Some people can have static this much that it changes their vision and such people won't be able to see very well but you can still do things. As far as I know, VS doesn't make you blind, it doesn't get too worse in a short ammount of time.

Not sure. I’m headed back to work soon and hope to be able to preform my new job

I worked for years! My vision has been fine. I do have migraines, which apparently 56 percent of visual snow "sufferers" do, too. Migraines make it hard to see and the light that they present in the eye is often picked up by the light collectors (cones?) And so a visual aura can be longer and more daunting. As I reported before, my vision was always better than 20/20 corrected, so I don't see that it would necessarily be a hindrance to a job. BUT, everyone is different! So, you will have to do what is right for you.

I happen to work full time and consider this syndrome as just another thing that makes me unique. I try to manage it as if it is a gift and not a burden or a disease.

they can do everything that a normal person can do

Because the degree of VS and other symptoms vary, some sufferers find it debilitating. Therefore, it affects work and personal lives. For others, they can lead normal lives, work, drive vehicles etc.

Eveyone with Visual Snow can work. Only people with severe symptoms might face some difficulties working, specially doing jobs that require attention to details or looking at screens for hours.

This is a difficult question depending of the severity of your symptoms and how well controlled they are depending on where you are on your treatment journey.

Some VSS sufferers have mild symptoms they can simply ignore and function normally with little to no discomfort or distraction. For others the symptoms can be severe to the point they are debilitated and unable to function in daily life suffering Migraines, sensitivity to light, after imaging. Some may even experience Psychological issues such as Depression and or Depersonalisation.

Ability to carry out your day to day role in work may also depend on what tasks you carry out I.e. computer work, Driving, Operating Heavy Machinery or tasks that require clear 20/20 vision like surgery, use of microscopes or an Aircraft Pilot.

Anything that exacerbates symptoms or prevents you carrying out your work safely and effectively would be problematic and I would encourage you to visit your G.P. Discuss with your Line Manager and request Occupational Health Intervention if you have a diagnosis. You should be entitled to support to enable you to return to work if this is possible.

Hope this helps
