Travel insurance for people with Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a commonly occurring eye condition, usually caused by a build-up of pressure which over time damages the optical nerve. It’s a common condition, but one which most frequently affects older people in their 70’s and onwards. Although it’s a curable illness, failure to identify it can result in blindness, so it’s important to have regular eye check-ups.

We understand that insuring a medical condition can be frustrating, and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to get travel insurance. So, if you’re suffering from glaucoma and are concerned about whether travel insurance will be able to cover your medical condition, or if you’ve had trouble getting covered in the past, we may be able to help you.

One of the things that means we stand out from the crowd is that we consider all diagnosed medical conditions. You can go through our simple medical screening process online, or contact us to get a quote over the phone.

What does glaucoma travel insurance cover?

We’ll do our best to offer a policy that’s suited to your needs. Like all our travel insurance policies, our glaucoma travel insurance cover includes a number of great features as standard, such as:

For more information on what’s covered with our travel insurance for people with medical conditions including glaucoma, have a read of our policy documents. And if you are suffering from another existing medical condition, for example asthma, make sure you declare both conditions and we can help with that as well!

If you still can’t find what you’re looking for, get in touch with us and we’ll try to help.

Please note: ‘glaucoma travel insurance’ is a general term for one of our standard travel insurance policies including cover for other health conditions, which is subject to medical screening and may require an additional premium. We don’t offer specialist cover for this specific condition.
