Got my window tint exemption sticker will help others.
I got my NY state window tint exemption sticker, so I can have tint on my windows. It is illegal for any tint on your windows in NY state that is more than 70% and your car will not pass inspection if you have it.
I am not abusing the system I have actual medical reasons for window tint due to a skull fracture and having my optic nerves knock crooked, so my eyes are overly sensitive to light and do not dilate properly.
I am posting this so if anyone has questions about how to jump through the hoops of getting one for medical reasons, I can help you out with it because its a pain in the a$$. I will not help you beat the system and get one just to have tint on your windows.

Got my window tint exemption sticker
I went through all the bs and finally got my window tint exemption sticker if anyone else from NY would like assistance in going through the process let me know and I will help as much as I can. I will not help you commit fraud just because you want tinted windows.

More people should be like that. 
Sorry to hear about your fracture...best of luck, and, over time, I hope it heals and recovers as well as possible.
Are there any night-driving restrictions on your license?....in some states, a condition like that may allow someone to drive only from sunup to sundown. Also, even if there are not, and particularly with darker-than-normal tint, you'll want to be very careful at night, as dark tint can make already-lowered night-vision even worse.
Good post. I like your attitude. More people should be like that.

When I get high beamed from on coming traffic I have trained myself to squint so I can barely see and look at the white line on the shoulder.
During the day I am always wearing sunglasses even if there is no sun out I do take them off when I go inside as those lights are not bright enough to effect my vision.
I have 35% on my car now I would just like to get 20% or 15% nothing crazy, no limo tint for this guy haha.
I have to go through the entire process again for my wifes car NY state is such bs with this stuff. I wont post pics of the sticker because I don't want some a-hole using it for nefarious proposes.

I think its a relatively simple process, you get some papers from a doctor and then go to DMV and file them. However the going to DMV part is enough to deter most people from bothering with this.

Thats not it the last steps involve your dr getting packet of paperwork from the dmv acknowledging your request, filling it out then doing an interview over the phone and you dont go to dmv there is a seperate branch of the dmv for this as well as other stuff.
Whats your medical reason for wanting tint if you woukd rather pm it that is fine but I had to go through hell to get it for medical reasons so I dont want people to just get it to get it because then they will revise the law and make it even harder to get the exemption sticker its allready a $[cken nightmare to get it.
In NY they can write you a ticket per window at $150 a pop lol

Sounds like the key in NY is enforcement. Living in Phila., off the top of my head, pretty sure 70% has to be let in? So dunno if that's 70 or 30 in NYS. Pretty sure my wife's SUV from the factory is 19%. In PA, anything lower than 70% I believe has to be from the factory. Why, I do not know. In NJ, anything is allowed in the rear, but not on the front. Yet, so many cars are driving with fronts and windshield. It has to be an enforcement thing. I'm good with stock, be it in a sedan, or SUV. I had a mgr that wore sunglasses all the time, we were talking Oakleys that were suitable for baseball bordering on goggles if you will, and people used to make backhanded comments. But he had a medical reason for doing so, I just figured you can't please everyone and really no need to explain to the haters....
