When you are in a bad mood, full of emotional pain, it is likely that crying is something very liberating and that will keep you from thinking bad thoughts for a moment! For 22-year-old Satenik Kazaryan, crying is a process that excites her and causes her emotional pain, and instead of tears, she pulls out small stones, more precisely precious crystals. They get stuck in the eyes and sometimes it is necessary for someone to tweak them.
Kazaryan is from Armenia and she weeps almost 50 crystallized tears daily according to the Daily Mail. The woman, whose phenomenon is puzzling doctors, but also the whole world, showed that everything had begun during a routine visit to the dentist. "It seemed like dust came out of my eyes," said the 22-year-old. Kazaryan's family thought the tears might have been the product of her tedious work on the family farm, but doctors discovered that the tears were produced by Kazaryan's own body. Doctors are investigating the strange condition, but are unable to diagnose Kazaryan. The first doctor to visit Kazaryan gave her eye drops and they initially helped her, but soon her condition worsened and her eyes were producing more tears than before, according to the Daily Mail.
She went to several other doctors, and one of them even removed her because she did not believe her condition was true. "All doctors are in a state of shock," said Kazaryan. "They have not encountered such a disease and do not know how to treat it."
One doctor reportedly took pieces of the crystals from Kazarian's eyes so they could be sent to a lab and studied, but she still remains undiagnosed. All her doctors know that tears come from the woman's own body and not from an external source.
Another renowned ophthalmologist told the Daily Mail that the girl's condition from Armenia may be the result of excessive salt in her body. Crystal tears are not biologically possible, according to Dr. Ivan Schwab, professor of ophthalmology at the University of California. Kazaryan's conditions are physically impossible. "I'm not claiming absolute knowledge of this, but I've never seen anything like it in my 30 years as an ophthalmologist," Schwab told Insider. "I don't see how this can happen biochemically or anatomically."
Therefore, the case of the girl from Armenia has surprised opticians around the world! This phenomenon is still unsolvable today, but also scientific because it is obviously a very rare condition.
