It is not always easy to find a travel insurance provider who will allow you cover for medical conditions such as Cataracts and if you do find a provider, more often than not it will likely involve a costly premium. Cataracts is a visual impairment and affects around 2.5 million people in the UK and Wales, mostly commonly in the 65+ age group. Typically the symptoms of the Cataracts condition include blurred and double vision or circles of light, small spots or patches in your vision, yet many insurance companies exclude cover for Cataracts altogether. This leaves the traveller with the difficult decision of travelling unprotected, knowing there is always the possibility of having to contend with the sometimes debilitating symptoms caused by the Cataracts condition or even devastatingly sometimes having to miss out on the very reason the trip was intended for; be it to enjoy picturesque views, participate in the sporting activities and so on. Either that or accepting that they might need to seek medical treatment in order to rectify or stabilise the Cataracts condition. If you find yourself in a position whereby the Cataracts condition worsens and you are not able to visit an ophthalmologist during opening hours and an emergency appointment is necessary at a hospital as a result of the Cataracts condition, you could find your medical bill escalating. This is particularly so in countries such as Spain and the USA where medical fees are notoriously steep.
