Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the eligibility of ophthalmologist consultation fees, eye drops, and spectacles for Section 80D medical expense deductions. Generally, these expenses can be claimed if the individual or their parents are senior citizens. For non-senior citizens, a preventive health check-up limit of £5,000 applies. Payments for these expenses must be made via cheque to be eligible for the deduction.

If you are senior citizen then only medical expenses can be claimed else only 5000/- can be claimed under preventive health checkup
Only if you are senior citizen
