Andy: Insofar as British insurers are concerned, many years ago the BIBA (British Insurance Brokers Association) declared that blindness is concerned as normal risk. It may be an idea to check it with the R N I B legal department as insurance law is always changing. Certainly in my instance, my business, personal and travel insurance imposes neither surcharge nor additional premium for visual impairment even though it is disclosed - that may be the rub!
