Yes, you will be able to claim a deduction for any medical expenses that were not reimbursed by insurance.

However, You will only get a tax benefit from these medical expenses if the total of all deductible medical expense is over the 7.5% AGI medical limitation and only if you itemize.

TurboTax will guide you on entering all of your medical expenses so include everything you paid out-of-pocket including prescriptions, glasses, dentist bills, etc.
