Houston, TX (1888PressRelease) March 25, 2015 - The LASIK surgeons at The Eye Clinic of Texas commented on the benefits of using tax refunds and deductions to make LASIK affordable. "Many patients who have been waiting to have LASIK come to see us right about now in anticipation of, or already having received their tax refund," commented Bernard Milstein, M.D. "Patients considering LASIK should take advantage of any tax deduction for LASIK that might be appropriate in their individual 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, along with the cost effective price of $1088 per eye for All Laser Zeiss VisuMax® Bladeless LASIK at The Eye Clinic of Texas, LASIK can be much more affordable than you might think," noted Dr. Da-Thuy Van.

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. "For patients who prepare their own tax returns, they should carefully follow the guidelines offered by programs such as TurboTax® or even better, all potential LASIK patients should ask their personal tax advisor, preparer or C.P.A. for professional advice about their individual situation," suggested Amy Trittel, Refractive Surgery Coordinator at the Eye Clinic of Texas

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.

"Having been a pioneer in laser eye surgery for vision correction since 1991 it is amazing that to this day patients continue to tell me that having LASIK was a major beneficial life changing event. Using your tax refund for LASIK is a sound, long term investment that goes a long way to enhance your overall quality of life," shared Dr. Milstein.
