Get your prescription for tint!

Hey everyone, I tinted an optometrists car the other day and he is a big advocate for darker films. Said he's got no problem handing out prescriptions for tint as long as you let him do an eye exam on you (~$40). I've already had a few customers come back with prescriptions and they said he's a really cool guy. So if you want to legally have dark windows, PM me and i'll send you his info,

THanks!

~EDIT~​

This info will not be given out via this forum... Your best bet is to come to one of our local meets and talk directly to one of the members who has the MD's info.​

 

Good to know... too bad I already got mine.

 

Interesting. I was gonna ask my optometrist this coming week about getting one and wasn't sure if he'd do it or not, but I'm going to give your doc a call and see if he accepts my insurance.

 

Awesome!

 

Whoa....excellent!!!!!!

 

Awesome!

 

Good to know, thanks

 

Rob- this sounds very convenient. How does the Rx work? Is it something you have to carry with you for any car you drive that has less than 50% light transmittance? Is it hand written or does it go into some sort of database, like eye Rx for driving?

looks like this guy is about to get blown up with phone calls from subie drivers lol

 

I got my tint prescription earlier this year at a place in Savage/Prior Lake during a routine eye exam. My prescription is a small piece of paper that looks just like any MD drug prescription. I made copies and put one in the glove box of each car. Minnesota law requires your tint prescription to be updated every 2 years. I've never been pulled over for dark tint to know how the officer would react to the prescription (35% tint in 3 cars). Just trying to follow the rules.

 

I have the same thing as lawn master but mine was typed on legal paper. I've been pulled over once but he was kinda rude so I let him test my windows give me the speech and then I whiped it out BOOYA no ticket.

 

^ Ha! LOL! I love it!

 

Haha, the only down side is that you will still get pulled over..too bad there's no way to display your prescription on the outside of the vehicle.

 

Dan, its just something the doctor will write on his prescription pad, for example "20% Tint".

It's best to get it a little darker than you plan on going, just to be safe. So if you wanted 30%, have him write you one for 25%.

 

Sounds good! Now, can I swing by to have you throw your light meter on my current tints?

When I finally get my twinscroll setup on my car and come up to get tuned, I'm going to be making a pit stop at the eye doc! haha

 

I may have to check this out, PM inbound

 

Just wanted to say thanks for this. No more worries for me and the doc was pretty laid back.

 

Good guy got my rx and getting setup with new contacts to boot

 

Could ya PM me his info?

Thanks!

 

I would like to make an appointment. Please pm info. thanks Rick

 

I thought about getting a vinyl sticker that says TINT RX or something like it and put it one of the windows.

 

Good thought! I'd go with "I'M PRESCRIBED"

 

Went there last Tuesday and got my Rx. Very easy going place. Should have my contacts soon.

 

i think we need to get a mnsubaru loves you doc! sign and all sign it for him lol

 

optimusrob sent you a pm regarding that doctors info...at least i think i sent a pm im not quite used to the new site layout...thanks

 

got it, PM sent

 

I went a few Tuesdays ago... This dude is legit. He noticed that my contacts, which I have been having issues with and already returned once, did not fit right. I didn't even say anything to him and he noticed within a few seconds of looking at my eyes. I had actually went back to my old (because this guy is getting all of my future business) Dr. like 3 times trying to fix the problem. Little did I know that they were just brand pushing on me instead of trying to find something to fit my eye. My 1st time back I even questioned the fit of my new contacts and asked if my issues could be fitment issues... i was told it could be something with my brain.... which is messed up, but not the cause of my contact issues. So needless to say I returned all of my unopened boxes and have a new appt setup for a Tuesday in the future so I can get some better fitting contact.

 

pm sent!

 

Can anybody else that got the Optometrist's (sp?) info send it to me please? The orginal poster hasnt got back to me yet and I work in EP (the fuzz are tint Nazis there) so I need this ASAP

 

Would someone send me the contact info as well? Hopefully this guy isn't too far away from me haha.

-Steve

 

I would like the info too if someone can PM me when replying to the others...

 

I once saw a design cut into the tint could you have this cut in before it was applied... O can I get a PM with the info.

 

Does this end up like an asian massage parlour where the elephant is in the room but it's awkward to bring up?

 

lol wasn't awkward at all. Just let him know what you're there for and you have tinted windows and he'll get the hint.

 

if anyone still needs the info PM me i have also have it

 

hmm, well I suppose its about time for me to get an eye exam, might as well get an Rx for tint! Can someone PM me his info?

Thanks!

 

POST REMOVED

^^^ Thanks for the info... may want to edit the last post and remove the doctors name. They may not want their name on the internet while it's associated with handing out prescriptions. I work in the medical field and can see this as a potential problem with their licensing.

 

I would say don't post the info at all... just ask for a PM and I'll sent the info.

 

Someone want to send over his info? Tnx.

 

Info sent

 

Thanks folks.

 

I'd like it as well please.
