Eye Forensic!

Apparently there's a commercially available card to examine for suspects under the influence of CNS stimulants/depressants, narcotics, cannabis, hallucinogen, etc!
Pupillary reactions include dilatation, constriction or normal, and also reaction to light.
Other eye signs include nystagmus (horizontal or vertical).

It is a 3”x5” card with possible reactions to various classes of drugs and pupil gauge ranging from 1.0mm to 9.0mm increments.


There's also a description for body temperature and blood pressure as weel.
Handy for the police!

Price: $10.35
