New Haven-Meriden, CT (1888PressRelease) March 18, 2015 - "For many patients who have been thinking about LASIK, this time of year can often bring some good news," commented Dorothy Figueroa, Practice Administrator at Doctor & Associates, a leading Fairfield County eye care and surgery practice. "First, anyone considering LASIK needs to take advantage of any tax deduction for LASIK that might be appropriate in their situation. Then, for those who have already filed their tax returns and who might be expecting a refund, this is good time to schedule a consultation to see if LASIK might be something you want to use your tax refund for. By maximizing your tax deduction as well as using your refund, LASIK can be much more affordable than you might think."

About LASIK Tax Deductions
While each situation is different, in general, depending on your personal income and how much you have incurred in out of pocket medical expenses-including deductibles and co-pays, it is quite possible that LASIK eye surgery might be a deductible medical expense. "All potential LASIK patients should ask their personal tax advisor, preparer or C.P.A. for professional advice about their individual situation," suggested Mrs. Figueroa.

Using Tax Refunds for LASIK
If you think or know that you are eligible for a tax refund and want to apply it to pay for LASIK, there are some things to know and simple steps to take. First, after filing your tax return you can expect that the U.S. Department of Treasury on average takes about three weeks to process your return and send you a refund check. During this time, it is worthwhile to schedule your complimentary consultation with a LASIK surgeon and find out if LASIK is possible and is the best vision correction option for your personal lifestyle and expectations. During this consultation you and your surgeon should discuss the examination results and determine if, how and when to proceed to schedule your LASIK surgery.

"I have been performing laser eye surgery for vision correction since 1995, and LASIK since 1999. To this day, I often run into patients I performed LASIK for over the past xxx years and they tell me that having LASIK was a positive life changing event. Based on that kind of patient feedback, we can say that using your tax refund for LASIK is a sound, long term investment that can enhance your quality of life," commented Corneal Specialist & LASIK Surgeon Leslie Doctor, M.D.
