How do you treat medical expenses in a tax computation.

EG spent €1,000 on laser eye treatment, tax relief is 20%.

Is the relief a non refundable tax credit of €200 in a computation or do you deduct the full €1,000 from your Total Income to arrive at taxable income.

EG total income 60k less 1k, taxable income deemed 59k.

Would greatly appreciate any advice.
