Quick Reference

The IRS defines medical expenses as amounts paid for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or for the purpose of affecting any structure or function of the body. Eye surgery, when medically necessary, falls directly under this definition.

When It Qualifies

•The surgery must be performed to treat a medical condition, injury, or disease affecting the eyes or vision.
•Cosmetic surgery is generally not eligible unless it is necessary to improve a deformity related to a congenital abnormality, a personal injury resulting from an accident or trauma, or a disfiguring disease.

When It Doesn't

•Surgery performed solely for cosmetic reasons, not related to a medical condition or injury, is not eligible.
