Are Glasses Tax-Deductible in Quebec?

According to the law, the cost of glasses, contact lenses or other devices for treating or correcting vision disorders — when prescribed by an ophthalmologist or optometrist (note that expenses for eyeglass frames are limited to $200 per person per 12-month period used to calculate medical expenses) — qualify as medical expenses on your tax return.

Glasses, lenses, and devices for the treatment and correction of vision disorders are therefore eligible as medical expenses, and you’d be wise to claim them on your tax return.
