I had cataracts surgery in 2024. I took the option to have a higher quality lens put in my eyes so I would no longer need glasses. Is that deductible?

Yes, you can take the deduction as an itemized medical expense if you are able to itemize your deductions. Here is a link that summarizes all medical expenses that are deductible for the year. Prescription eyeglasses are listed in this link.
