Haemolacria

Haemolacria

Haemolacria is a physical condition that causes a person to produce tears that are partially composed of blood. It can manifest as tears that are anything from merely red-tinged to appearing to be entirely made of blood.

Haemolacria is a symptom of a number of diseases,[1] and may also be indicative of a tumor in the lacrimal apparatus. It is most often provoked by local factors such as bacterial conjunctivitis, environmental damage or injuries.[2]

Acute haemolacria can occur in fertile women and seems to be induced by hormones.[2]

  • Calvino Inman, 15, weeps tears of blood 3 times each day[3]
  • Rashida Khatoon, from India, can cry blood up to 5 times a day, and even faint with every weeping.[4]
