Tears are secretions that clean and lubricate the eyes. Lacrimation or lachrymation (from Latin lacrima, meaning "tear") is the production or shedding of tears.

Nomenclature of Haemolacria

Haemo = blood

lacria = tears 

Causes :

• Haemolacria is a symptom of a number of diseases, and may also be indicative of a tumour in the lacrimal apparatus.
• It is most often provoked by local factors such as bacterial conjunctivitis, environmental damage or injuries.
• Acute haemolacria can occur in fertile women and seems to be induced by hormones.

Example of the case :
