If Your Doc Will Give You A Note, You Can Even Tint The Windshield.

im guessing im going to have to show proof that i infact, got the laser eye surgery right? and will the doctor do a test that actually shows how much sensitive to light i am? all i know is after i got this done, the sun blinds the crap out of me now..

ive done a lot of researcjh on the laser eye surgery actually did a huge project on it in college. your eyes are going to be sensitive for a while. slowly that will go away. it happens to many people.

most likely your doctor will have someway of making sure it is legit before he gives you said prescription. I dont think tiniting the windshield entirely is legal PERIOD either. The top would be ok but not the whole thing

you can get a perscription for tint from your doctor... go have a talk with him/her about it.

Or just invest in a good set of sunglasses.

More than likely they won't allow you to tint you windows, they'll suggest you buy those wrap-around sunglasses the q-tips wear down in Florida.

unless you have a long lasting problem with light, it is unlikely
give it a try though, i imagine they will make you were the sunglasses

Yes you can go to your Dr. and tell him you can't see while driving and sunglasses don't work.

i know in CA you have to use removable window tint and remove it if the sun is down, and its only certain percentages, and you need a prescription. Atleast this is what the CHP officer told me when he gave me a ticket for my tint

because it is illegal to tint anything below 70% on the front windows in NY. Depending on where you live and if the cops will give you problems, its best to have the note as protection
