Is a lens implant tax deductible?

Yes, a lens implant may be tax deductible as a medical expense in some cases. This is especially true if the treatment is necessary and not performed purely for aesthetic reasons.

? Conditions for tax deductibility:

✔️ The expense must be medically justified.

✔️ The expense may not be fully reimbursed by mutual insurance or insurance.

✔️ You must have valid proof (invoice, eye doctor's prescription).

✔️ The expense must be reported in the "extraordinary medical expenses" section of your tax return.

? What about refunds?

? If you receive an NIHDI refund or insurance reimbursement, only the non-refunded portion may be eligible for deduction.
