Answer

If you are especially photosensitive, and spend a significant amount of time in your car, it may be a good idea to have your car windows tinted. Standards and regulations may differ among states, regarding tinting car windows. If your state prohibits window tinting, you may be able to get a note or form signed by your physician stating why you need tinted windows. Generally, people who are photosensitive can obtain a form from their local department of motor vehicles (or the state’s public safety department) to be filled out and signed by their physician. You can contact your local department of motor vehicles for information in your state.
