Flexible Spending Accounts
You can now use tax-free Flex Spending Accounts to get reimbursed for eligible medical expenses. Many insurance providers or employers offer Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), Health Spending Accounts (HSA), or Health Reimbursement Arrangements to help offset medical expenses. The accounts may allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars for procedures like LASIK. Ask your employer or insurance provider about deducting pre-tax dollars from your paycheck for potential savings on your laser vision correction procedure.
Tax Benefits
While LASIK can be deemed elective and not covered, it may be tax deductible depending on your filing status. Please consult your accountant. Many patients choose to use their tax refund to pay for LASIK, an investment that can last a lifetime.
