Is cataract surgery deductible

[MindyB]

Yes, cataract surgery is generally tax-deductible because it is a medically necessary procedure to treat a physical defect (impaired vision due to cataracts) per IRS Publication 502. 

You must itemize your deductions to claim medical expenses. Also, medical expenses are only deductible for the amount in excess of 7.5% of your AGI. ‌For example, if your AGI is $50,000, only your medical expenses over $3,750 can be claimed as an itemized deduction.‌
