LASIK is a cosmetic procedure, so while it cannot be billed to your insurance it can help you save on your taxes! Per Turbo Tax, “you can deduct any expense you pay for the prevention, diagnosis or medical treatment of physical or mental illness, and any amounts you pay to treat or modify any part or function of the body for health—but not for cosmetic purposes.” This means that while you will not get a tax break from the fee paid towards something ‘cosmetic’ like the age reversing effects of BOTOX® injections, you can expect to see a partial reimbursement from LASIK eye surgery.

The amount you might save, however, depends on how much you earned before taxes. If you have already filed, keep this information in mind for next year; but if you’re fortunate enough to be receiving a refund this year—change the way you see.

In the long run, the overall cost of LASIK is less than the costs of continually purchasing vision correction items.

A health flexible spending account (FSA) is part of your benefits package. This plan lets you use pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible health care expenses for you, your spouse, and your eligible dependents. Here’s how an FSA works. Money is set aside from your paycheck before taxes are taken out. When using a Health Savings Account, you decide how much to contribute to your HSA account, If you have an HSA through your workplace, you can set up easy automatic contributions directly from payroll. You will receive a debit card or checks linked to your HSA balance, and you can use the funds on eligible medical expenses. This includes deductibles, co-pays and coinsurance, plus other qualified medical expenses not covered by your plan such as Lasik. Check with your employer for more details.
