AI-generated summary, reviewed by Better Utah staff.

Effective July 1, 2026, Utah law adds corrective eyeglasses and contact lenses to the legal definition of "prosthetic device," a category of items already exempt from state sales and use tax. Previously, the law specifically excluded eyeglasses and contact lenses from that definition, meaning they were taxable. Utahns who wear prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses will no longer pay sales tax on those purchases, reducing the out-of-pocket cost of vision correction.
