As cataracts is a pre-existing medical condition, it’s vital that it’s declared and covered by your travel insurance. Travelling with a pre-existing medical condition shouldn’t stand in the way of getting proper cover, and cataracts is no exception.
With the right travel insurance you can go on holiday with peace of mind, knowing that if the worst happens you’ve got our support when you need it the most.
Problems occurring on holiday can vary from a lost passport or stolen luggage, to needing to be flown home by air ambulance as a medical emergency.
Whatever the issue, having proper cover can help ease worry and the strain to your bank balance.
With the right travel insurance, travelling with cataracts can be less of a concern, in knowing you have our support if the worst happens.
After all, travelling with peace of mind is what we see as the key to any happy holiday.

It’s important you declare cataracts and any other pre-existing medical condition you may have, when taking out a policy with us.
You can declare your medical condition through our online medical screening process, which is a straightforward set of questions for us to understand how your medical conditions affect you. Or, if you prefer, you can complete the medical screening over the phone.
It’s important that all pre-existing conditions are declared on your medical travel insurance policy. This will avoid large medical bills if you need treatment in another country. Failure to disclose any pre-existing medical conditions may affect the validity of your policy should you need to claim.

Get QuoteCataracts removal surgery is on our list of surgery/medical procedures we can offer cover for.
If you’re awaiting cataract surgery, we will be able to cover you for everything except cancellation and cutting your holiday short, as a result of the condition you are awaiting surgery for.
You should always check with your doctor at what point after your cataract surgery you’re fit to travel/fly, especially if you’re worried about the effects of air travel.
Being advised by your doctor means they’ll be able to tailor their advice to your medical history. We’ll need to know you’re fit to travel before we can offer you cover.
If you need to make a claim, we'll make it as easy and stress-free as possible.
