Check urine catacholamines
Symp dilates
Therefore miosis

afterimage test (tests each eye individually and tags the fovea w vertical line in one eye and horizontal line in the other)
if you give an after image test and you see an X what does that mean
you have NRC
order these tests from most dissociative to least
red glass, bagolini, after image, amblyoscope, w4d
afterimage- most w4d red glass amblyoscope bagolini- least
