The purchase of prescription glasses is a qualified medical expense that can be paid with a distribution from the HSA.

 

If you itemize deductions, any amounts that you indicate as qualified medical expenses paid with distributions from the HSA must be entered as medical expenses when entering itemized deductions because TurboTax automatically subtracts off from itemized medical expenses the amount of qualified medical expenses paid with distributions from the HSA.
