The patient's preference may also increase costs. The type of laser eye surgery your surgeon ultimately recommends is for your best possible outcome, yet may impact the LASIK eye surgery cost.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) allows you to claim your elderly parent as a dependent on a tax return as long as no one else does. If you choose to claim an exemption for your parent, you must also ensure that you are not an eligible dependent to another taxpayer.
You can claim adult daycare expenses for a dependent age 13 or older or for your spouse if that person is physically or mentally unable to care for himself. You can't claim child care or adult day care expenses for someone who doesn't live with you at least half the year, and you must pay more than half the costs of maintaining your home. Sometimes divorced or separated parents enter into an agreement to allow the non-custodial parent to claim their child as a dependent on his tax return. 1  If you're not claiming your child as a dependent for this reason but he lived with you at least half the year, you may still be able to claim the child care credit. Only custodial parents can take the credit, however, because of the residency requirement.
