Can You Get a Tint Exemption for Skin Cancer in Ohio?
All forms of skin cancer — including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma — are linked to UV exposure. Patients require enhanced UV protection including darker window tint during driving.
Skin Cancer Symptoms That Qualify
The following symptoms of Skin Cancer are relevant to qualifying for a window tint medical exemption in Ohio:
- History of any type of skin cancer
- Precancerous skin lesions (actinic keratosis)
- High UV sensitivity after treatment
- Skin that burns easily
- Immunosuppression increasing cancer risk
How Skin Cancer Qualifies You for a Tint Exemption
Skin cancer patients need to reduce UV exposure from all sources. Vehicle windows allow significant UV radiation to pass through. A medical tint exemption in Ohio provides an additional layer of protection during daily driving.
To qualify, you need to demonstrate that your Skin Cancer makes it medically necessary for you to have darker window tint than what Ohio law normally allows. Our licensed physicians review your existing documentation against state requirements — we do not diagnose. You must already have records from a primary care physician or eye care specialist confirming your condition.

Current Ohio Tint Laws
Without a medical exemption, Ohio law limits window tint to 50% VLT VLT on front side windows and Any darkness VLT on back side windows. Violations carry fines starting at $150 fine (minor misdemeanor).
With an approved medical exemption for Skin Cancer, you may be permitted to have darker window tint than these standard limits, providing the protection you need while staying legal.
