I am scheduled for cataract surgery. Can I get insurance against loss of vision? 
That is a great question ! While it is possible to get almost anything insured these days , once you 've set the wheels in motion for surgery , it becomes really difficult to get the outcome of that surgery insured . Virtually every policy I 've ever seen will ask if you have a planned procedure or surgery scheduled , and if so , will decline you . Their assumption is that if it is so bad that you are finally willing to go under the knife to get it treated , you are a bad risk , and therefore not worth it . Not the most personable attitude , but given their line of work , understandable . That said , I 've had several family members who 've had cataract surgeries done , and each came out with flying colors , and improved vision . I 'm sure that you will too . Good luck , and thanks for asking !
