Glaucoma Travel Insurance
For the Love of Travel, with Cover Designed for Glaucoma
A holiday should be an exciting and enriching experience. If you have glaucoma, it's natural to have additional concerns when travelling. You may be thinking about managing your medication, keeping up with your treatment routine, or what support would be available if you needed medical care while abroad.
Glaucoma is more common than many people realise, affecting around 1 in 50 people in the UK. That’s why we offer travel insurance designed with your medical needs in mind.
Our travel insurance for people with glaucoma is designed to support you if unforeseen situations happen which might affect your trip. This includes cover for holiday cancellations for medical reasons, emergency medical assistance abroad, and replacement of essential items such as prescribed medications.
You'll also be covered for other common travel issues, such as travel delays, missed departures and lost baggage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Glaucoma Travel Insurance
1. Do You Have to Declare Your Glaucoma on Holiday Insurance?
Yes, it's essential to declare glaucoma if you have a diagnosis or have received any treatment or medication for it. This is because glaucoma is a pre-existing medical condition.
Being open about your condition ensures you get the suitable cover for your needs and, most importantly, that your policy is valid.
If there has been a change in your medical condition after you have taken out your policy, please let us know so we can ensure your cover remains up to date.
2. Does Glaucoma Affect Travel Insurance Price?
Yes. As glaucoma is a pre-existing medical condition, you will need to declare it during the medical screening process. Depending on your circumstances, this may result in an additional premium being applied to your policy. This helps ensure you have suitable cover in place for your trip.
3. What Types of Glaucoma Travel Insurance Policies Are Available?
At Able2Travel, we offer two main types of glaucoma travel insurance, depending on how often you travel:
- Single Trip Cover: Ideal for those going on one-off trips. This policy covers from the day you leave until you return home.
- Annual Multi-Trip Cover: Perfect for frequent travellers. This option provides cover for unlimited trips within a 12-month period.
This way, whether you’re planning a single relaxing holiday or going on multiple trips in a year, you can find the suitable cover.
4. Why Do I Need Travel Insurance for Glaucoma If I Have a GHIC?
While the GHIC (Global Health Insurance Card) gives you access to state-provided healthcare in some European countries, it’s important to arrange travel insurance as well.
This is because there are limitations on what the GHIC can cover, which are covered by travel insurance instead.
For example, travel insurance can cover the costs for private medical treatment if necessary or to get you back home to the UK (known as medical repatriation). Also, you can get cover for common travel disruptions, including trip cancellation, travel delays and lost belongings.
5. What Destinations are Covered Under Glaucoma Holiday Insurance?
At Able2Travel, we offer glaucoma holiday insurance to Europe and beyond. From staycations in the UK to city breaks in Europe and long-haul worldwide trips. Our cover is divided into the following areas:
- Area 1: The United Kingdom including Northern Ireland.
- Area 2: Western Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Madeira, and Iceland (including Area 1).
- Area 3: Worldwide excluding North America.
- Area 4: Worldwide including North America.
Please note there is no cover for you travelling to an area that FCDO have advised against ‘All Travel’ or ‘All but Essential Travel’.
We are also unable to provide cover to some countries due to the existence of international sanctions – please see our homepage for an up-to-date list.
