The girl that cries out crystals

Whenever you're having a weep session, you're probably just worrying about the emotional distress you're experiencing. But weeping, according to 22-year-old Satenik Kazaryan, causes intense physical discomfort because her tears are formed like little sharp crystals. According to the Daily Mail, Kazaryan, the Armenian, sheds nearly 50 crystallized tears each day.

She said that the excruciating tears began when she was at the dentist's office. In a video from news outlet Mir24.tv, Kazaryan said, It just felt like dirt fell into my eyes." “It affected me, so I went to the ophthalmologist, and several crystals were pulled out of my eyes." doctors said the tears were emerging from Kazaryan's body, not even from glass that they thought fell into her eyes as she was busy working on her family's farm.

Doctors are looking into Kazaryan's unusual disorder but have yet to examine her. According to the Daily Mail, the first doctor Kazaryan met for her odd disorder issued her eye drops, which initially improved, but her condition quickly worsened, and her eyes began to produce more jagged tears than ever before.

She saw a few more doctors, one of whom turned her down because he didn't believe her illness was true. "Every doctor is in disbelief," Kazaryan said. "They've never heard of such a disease and have no idea how to handle it."

Kazaryan's crystal tears were allegedly taken out of her eyes and and was sent to a lab to be researched, but she is still undiagnosed. Her doctors only understand exactly that the tears are coming from her own body and not from somewhere else, she told Mir24.tv.

According to the Daily Mail, Kazaryan's condition may be caused by an excessive amount of salt in her body. Health authorities are also studying her unusual disorder. Crystal tears aren't biologically feasible. Dr. Ivan Schwab, an ophthalmology professor at the University of California Davis School of Medicine, believes that The situation Kazaryan is in is physically impossible.

First, according to Schwab, there are just not enough nutrients in human tear film, the gel material that gives us our familiar tears, to cause them to crystallize. Secondly, even though Kazaryan's tear film did produce crystal tears, human tear ducts are too small to transport the crystals through the eye to where they are cried out.

"I'm not saying full knowledge of all this, however, in my 30-plus years as an ophthalmologist, I've never had anything like this," Schwab told Insider. "From a biochemical or anatomical standpoint, I don't see how this might happen."

Dr. Tatyana Shilova, a Russian ophthalmologist, told REN TV that if a person's body Changes in structure, such as a significant increase in salt content, it can result in genetic or inflammatory diseases of the eye. However, if the body contained this much salt, a person would most likely encounter other health complications first, such as a heart or brain function problem, before developing eye problems.
