Hello! I need to know if I can count LASIK/PRK eye surgery for medical fees. It was elective/cosmetic, and I payed out of pocket. I also purchased eye drops.

Although expenses for "cosmetic" treatments are usually not deductible for tax purposes, vision correction surgery is allowed. The surgery corrects a "defect" of the body, and since glasses are an allowable expense, so is vision correction surgery.
