Are Prescription Glasses a Qualified HSA Expense? | HSA Awareness

When it comes to managing your HSA (Health Savings Account), it's essential to know what expenses are considered qualified for tax benefits. One common question that arises is whether prescription glasses are a qualified HSA expense.

Prescription glasses are indeed considered a qualified HSA expense. If you have a vision prescription from a qualified eye care professional, the cost of prescription glasses, including frames, lenses, and even coatings, is eligible for reimbursement from your HSA.

It's important to remember that only expenses that are deemed medically necessary are eligible for HSA reimbursement. Cosmetic glasses or non-prescription sunglasses, for example, would not qualify as they are not considered medically necessary.


Curious about how your Health Savings Account (HSA) can help you with your vision care? Prescription glasses are a qualified HSA expense, allowing you to use your funds for necessary eye wear.
