Florida law restricts how dark your car’s window tints can be. For passenger vehicles, the front side windows must allow at least 28% light in, while the rear side and back windows can be darker. The Medical Tint Exemption overrides these limits if you qualify.

You may qualify if you have a medical condition that is aggravated by sunlight, including:

• Light sensitivity / photophobia 
• Migraines 
• Lupus or autoimmune disorders
• Skin conditions worsened by UV exposure
• Other conditions approved by a licensed medical professional

Yes, light sensitivity (photosensitivity) is a recognized medical reason. A licensed physician must certify that exposure to sunlight affects your health, which qualifies you for the exemption.

Yes, it can qualify, but only if a licensed physician certifies that sunlight exposure increases your health risk or could aggravate your condition. The exemption is approved based on medical necessity, not just diagnosis history.

The state approval process typically takes 4–8 weeks after submitting the application.
