I am using the same drug. Some types can develop quickly.

A bit off topic but has to be said: fuck cancer and make sure to kick it in the face! You got this and I’m rooting for ‘ya!

Car door windows don't block UV.

I'm no expert, but it's my understanding that skin cancers typically show up many years or decades after exposure to the sun.

A dermatologist once told me the same thing ... skin cancer is caused by exposure a person had much earlier in life -- not recent exposure.

Although ... once a person realizes they are prone to developing skin cancer (a friend of mine has had it lots of times -- he used to a life guard when he was younger) they should do whatever they can to avoid being exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods.

I have skin cancer on my face. Can a panoramic roof contribute to or cause this?

As someone riddled with skin cancer all over -face and scalp as well as body- I did quite a bit of looking into the coating on the roof before purchasing and feel comfortable with my choice.

they certainly stop my transitions lenses from darkening even when in direct sunlight... so they are blocking something.

Yes, that is true. I do wonder if always wearing sun protection is recommended for people with face skin cancer. It is certainly something you should discuss with your doctor.

Everyone should be wearing sunscreen regardless

If you think about it, if that was the case, that nice clear glass that you are staring through would be causing even more problems. Like @gordonf238 said, cars have had UV protection for decades.

Interesting enough at one time I wanted to get some glasses that turned dark in the sunlight. But then quickly realized that they wouldn't be dark while I was driving, because they change based on getting hit by the UV, and the car window blocks it.

They have glasses now that will get dark even when in the car with tinted windows. They are transitions lenses. There are many brands.

I read this article. Do we know how protective the side windows are in our cars?

Well, I was going off of old information, and now it seems that the answer for "all cars" is "it depends". But let's have a chat session with Co-Pilot to find the current information, shall we?

Asked: Do the side windows in a car have UV protection?

"Car side windows generally offer some level of UV protection, but it varies. Most car windshields are made of laminated glass, which blocks nearly all UVB rays and a significant portion of UVA rays. However, side windows are typically made of tempered glass, which provides less UV protection compared to windshields1.

While some car manufacturers include UV-blocking features in side windows, it's not always standard across all models. If you're concerned about UV exposure, you can consider applying a UV-blocking window film to your car's side windows3."

Asked: Do the side windows in the Ford Mach-E have UV features?

" Yes, the side windows in the Ford Mach-E do have UV protection features. The front side windows, especially in the Premium models, are acoustically laminated, which helps block a significant portion of UV rays. Regular glass blocks UVB rays and some UVA rays, but the laminated glass used in the Mach-E's front side windows absorbs even more UV, providing enhanced protection. "

Asked: Does the panoramic sunroof have UV protection?
" Yes, the panoramic sunroof on the Ford Mach-E does have UV protection. It features a special coating designed to block UV rays and reduce heat. This helps keep the interior cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter2. "

Transitions XTRActive is what you want to request. If you have Zeiss lenses, you'll need to get PhotoFusion X.

The ironic part of it was that I wanted them so that I wouldn't have to switch glasses when driving!
Luckily, I tried some test glasses out on the parking lot before committing to buying them.

I just hold mine outside the window toward the sun every 10 minutes to darken up the lenses over and over.

Thank you. I now have to get full body exams at age 72. It could be worse for certain.

Thank you. Many sources online say yes and many say no.

this is info on the actual coating used on the roof. https://www.saint-gobain-sekurit.co...ure/enabling-sustainable-mobility/comfortskyr
