Can a beautician deduct the cost of Lasik eye surgery as business expense if it is business related?

Q. If a beautician wants to have the Lasik eye surgery done because the steamer always blurs her glass. Can she deduct the cost as business expense instead of medical expense since it is work related? Thanks.

A. Does not sound like the Lasik eye surgery would be a ordinary and necessary expense of the business operation.
A deduction is allowed only for expenses primarily paid for the prevention or alleviation of a physical or mental defect or illness. Medical care expenses include payments for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or treatment affecting any structure or function of the body. The cost of drugs is deductible only for drugs that require a prescription, except for insulin.
You may deduct only the amount by which your total medical care expenses for the year exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. You do this calculation on Form 1040 Schedule A in computing the amount deductible.
Hope that you find the above enclosed information useful and good luck

A. YES DON'T DO LASIK!!!!! You will ruin your military flying career!! PRK is the only authorized corrective surgery for pilots. I am going to flight school myself and have researched like crazy! Current prices are around $3500 for both eyes. The military also requires one year healing time after surgery; so plan accordingly! Good Luck!

Q. How much does it cost to get lasik surgery done in kerala, India?
I am going to Kerala in june. planning on getting lasik surgery done. Can someone tell me how much would it cost and good eye clenic/Hospital

Thank You.

A. The cost of LASIK eye surgery may or may not include any of the following:

Royalties owed to laser manufacturers.
Purchase and maintenance of surgical and technical equipment.
Surgical gowns, gloves, masks, and other sterile and disposable materials.
Medications used before, during, and after surgery, including anesthesia, eye drops, and oral pain medications.
Rent for surgical and office facilities.
Surgical and office staff salaries.
Advertising fees.
Pre- and post-operative evaluations for up to one year after surgery.
Post-surgical enhancement, if needed.
Since many of these LASIK eye surgery price quotes are variable according to office location, the technology employed, and other factors specific to each surgeon, it is important for prospective patients to fully research what they are paying for when they have LASIK laser eye surgery. Be sure to ask surgeons to clearly outline what is and what is not included in their prices for LASIK before agreeing to any payment plans or methods.

Has anyone had bad outcomes & experiences from Lasik surgery?
Q. I'm having lasik surgery on both my eyes in 5 days. Thats how horrible my vision is. Of course i'm scared. I'm just scared that if something goes wrong, then the outcome can just rob whats left of my pitiful vision. Does anyone have anything bad to say about lasik?

A. Lasik eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and Lasik surgery in India by a company called Indian Health Guru Consultants. The Price for dental and Lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.

Indian Health Guru Consultants is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, Lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.
They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
