Find Travel Insurance for Glaucoma
According to Glaucoma UK, an estimated 700,000 people have glaucoma. Half of them are unaware they have it due to a lack of symptoms, with the condition often picked up during routine eye tests. If you have been diagnosed with glaucoma, it’s important to secure dedicated glaucoma Travel Insurance to cover you when travelling.
Having glaucoma Travel Insurance covers the cost of any emergency medical expenses related to your condition, which can often be costly abroad. It also protects the value of your holiday if an unexpected change in circumstances (such as illness or bereavement) means you can no longer travel as planned. If you fall ill abroad, your glaucoma Travel Insurance would also cover the costs of getting you home in a medical emergency if you cannot access the right treatment abroad (known as repatriation).

Travel Insurance for Glaucoma FAQs
What does Travel Insurance for glaucoma cover?
Glaucoma Travel Insurance covers emergency medical expenses abroad, related either to your glaucoma or sudden illness/injury. It also includes cancellation cover if an unexpected change in your condition or other unforeseen circumstance means you can no longer travel, plus repatriation (the costs of getting you home in an emergency). Baggage cover is also included, covering for lost or stolen luggage.
Is there an upper-age limit for glaucoma Travel Insurance?
No. Our policies include no upper-age limit, as we believe age shouldn’t stop you from getting the right Travel Insurance for your needs. Whether you’re looking for glaucoma Travel Insurance over 65, 70, 80 or beyond, we’ll be happy to help match you with the right insurer/s for you.
How does having glaucoma affect the cost of insurance?
Declaring glaucoma on your Travel Insurance may affect the cost, however, it’s not the only factor that determines your price. Other factors include the destination, trip duration, and your age, along with any other pre-existing medical conditions. It’s important to declare all medical conditions as they apply to you to make sure you are adequately covered if you need to get treatment abroad. Otherwise, you risk footing the bill for costly medical expenses, which varies greatly across different countries/regions.
Do I need to declare glaucoma surgery on Travel Insurance?
Whether you have had, or are awaiting surgery for glaucoma, this needs to be declared on your Travel Insurance. Declaring this on your Travel Insurance makes sure you are fully covered for any treatment you might need. If you are on a waiting list for glaucoma surgery, you can find more information on our Travel Insurance for Those Awaiting Surgery page.
Can you fly after glaucoma surgery?
Yes. You can fly after having glaucoma surgery, provided your medical practitioner or surgeon is in agreement with your travel plans. Travelling against the advice of a medical professional risks invalidating your policy if something happens and you need to make a claim later on. In a non-insurance context, it also makes sure you are in the best possible health to enjoy your holiday to the fullest, with added peace of mind.
