Find Travel Insurance for Cataracts

Cataracts are the main cause of vision impairment in the UK according to Specsavers, with an estimated 2.5 million people over the age of 65 affected in England and Wales. The condition develops slowly, causing blurred vision, discomfort, and difficulty seeing, which could make travel challenging – but certainly not impossible.

With specialist Cataracts Travel Insurance, you can enjoy peace of mind that you’ll be covered abroad for any emergency treatment related to your condition. It also helps protect you financially in the event an unexpected circumstance such as illness or injury means you need to cancel or cut short your trip, including repatriation (the costs of bringing you home).

How does having cataracts affect the cost of insurance?

Having cataracts may affect the cost of your Travel Insurance, but it isn’t the only factor that determines your price. It also depends on your age, destination, trip duration, and any other pre-existing medical conditions you have. It’s important to declare all pre-existing medical conditions that apply no matter how they affect the cost of your insurance to make sure any future related claims will be valid, protecting you against costly medical expenses abroad.

Do I need to declare cataract surgery on Travel Insurance?

Yes, if you have had or are awaiting surgery for cataracts, this will need to be declared on your Travel Insurance. Depending on how recently you had surgery, you may also need to inform your airline to ensure they can make any necessary adjustments to accommodate you onboard. If you’ve yet to have the surgery, you can find more information on our Travel Insurance for Those Awaiting Surgery page.

Can you fly after cataract surgery?

Yes, provided you have consulted with your doctor or surgeon before travelling to ensure you are medically fit to travel. Remember that travelling against the advice of a medical professional risks invalidating any claims on your policy.
