Yes, of course they can, they just can't be pilots or busdrivers or anything like that. They can do anything where your vision isn't tested for.

Of course they can work. you can do whatever job you want to. In some cases like me I'm restricted to being able to do jobs that require a driving license.
Majority of people I've seen or heard from are aloud to drive.
In my personal opinion I think you should do what it is you want, whatever career you want. Don't let duanes stop you.

You can work in any field with Duanes depending on the severity of your condition. Don’t let it affect your ability to grow as an individual.
