Protect your Eye Health on holiday – secure Travel Insurance
When planning a holiday, your eye health might not be the first thing on your mind, but it’s just as important as any other aspect of your health.
If you have an eye condition, such as cataracts, macular degeneration, or glaucoma it’s important to declare this on your Travel Insurance. Even if you’ve recently had eye surgery and your condition has improved, or is no longer there, having the right Travel Insurance which covers your eye health can offer financial protection if you have to unexpectedly cancel your trip or seek treatment while abroad.
For example, if you experience any unforeseen issues related to your eye health whilst you’re abroad which require emergency treatment, Travel Insurance can cover you for the necessary treatment you may need, subject to policy terms and conditions.
Without declaring pre-existing medical conditions on your Travel Insurance, you could be left to cover these costs on your own. If you’re away from home, it can be especially difficult to manage unexpected medical expenses.
Why Do I Need Travel Insurance for Eye Health?
Travel Insurance for eye health provides access to 24/7 medical assistance in the event you need unexpected treatment/assistance while travelling. No one ever anticipates sudden vision changes or discomfort, but if it does happen, it can be distressing.
Travel With Confidence with Travel Insurance for Eye Health Conditions
Whether you’re exploring busy cities, relaxing on the beach or hiking through vast landscapes, travel insurance for pre-existing medical conditions, including current or previous eye conditions, is essential.
Eye conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration don’t have to prevent you from enjoying these experiences. With the right Travel Insurance, you can travel with confidence that you’re prepared if any challenges arise.
If you do require unforeseen medical assistance, you can access the necessary medical care you need to manage your condition without paying significant costs.
All policies and claims are subject to acceptance criteria and policy terms and conditions.
Affordable Holiday Insurance for All Ages, Conditions and Destinations
Travel Insurance is an essential part of your holiday planning, and it is important to check if your policy meets your needs.
It can cover your medical expenses if you’re injured or have an accident while you are away. It may also cover the cost of getting you home, if it’s a serious injury, or you miss your scheduled flight due to a stay in hospital.
You should arrange holiday cover as soon as you book a trip, so that you’re covered for any monetary loss if you need to cancel for some unforeseen reason such as illness, death of a family member or having a serious accident that prevents you from travelling.
Travel Insurance will often cover your luggage too, if it is lost, stolen or damaged.

Travel Insurance for Eye Health FAQs
Do I need to declare cataracts on Travel Insurance?
Cataract(s) is a pre-existing medical condition, even if you have had this removed, so you need to declare this on your Travel Insurance. Failure to disclose cataracts may lead to claim denials, leaving you financially responsible for any expenses related to your condition.
What should I consider if I have recently had eye surgery and I’m planning to travel?
If you have recently undergone eye surgery, such as cataract surgery or treatment for macular degeneration, you should consult your doctor to determine when it is safe to travel and what precautions you should take.
Make sure to declare your recent surgery when purchasing Travel Insurance to ensure this is declared and screened accurately on your policy. For more information on travelling after surgery, head to our Post-Surgery Travel Insurance page.
Can I still get Travel Insurance if my eye condition has worsened recently?
Yes, you can still get Travel Insurance if your eye condition has worsened recently, provided your doctor is still in agreement with your travel plans. You should provide full disclosure about your current health status during the application process. We need to know about any recent changes or deteriorations in your condition to accurately assess risk and provide appropriate cover. When getting a quotation, we will only show you policies that can cover your specific condition, so you can compare and choose the right Travel Insurance for you.
Can I get Travel Insurance if I’m awaiting eye surgery or on a waiting list for an eye condition?
Yes, you can still get Travel Insurance if you’re awaiting eye surgery or are on a waiting list for a procedure related to your eye health. However, it’s important to fully disclose your medical situation, including your eye condition and any symptoms, when applying for Travel Insurance while on a waiting list.
Speak to us directly if you are interested in Travel Insurance while awaiting eye surgery, or visit our Travel Insurance For Those Awaiting Surgery page for more information. Make sure to consult your doctor before travelling to ensure it’s safe.
Can you fly with macular degeneration?
Yes. Macular degeneration is not usually a barrier to travel, meaning you should be able to fly safely. You may, however, wish to do some planning for your travels, including contacting your airline to arrange for airport assistance to help you navigate busy airports if travelling alone. You’ll also need to consult with your doctor to ensure you are fit to travel, as flying against medical advice could risk invalidating your Travel Insurance policy.
Does glaucoma affect Travel Insurance?
Yes. Having glaucoma can affect the cost of your Travel Insurance slightly, due to the increased likelihood of you needing to seek treatment abroad. It should not, however, prevent you from being offered cover, when using Just Travel Cover. We work with a panel of multiple insurers who can cover your specific needs, with no upper-age limits, meaning nothing should hold you back from achieving your travel goals.
