Laura Ponce from Brazil has a rare medical condition – she cries crystal tears! It may sound pretty awesome but in fact the condition is very painful for 35 year old Laura. When she cries, Laura’s eyes create a white clot which turns to solid crystal after she blinks. Laura first discovered the crystal tears when she was 15 and her mother took her to the emergency room. The doctor was just as mystified as Laura.The condition has caused Laura’s eyes to swell often and has caused infection, forcing Laura to take 6 months off work as she removed up to 30 hard crystals from her eyes each day.
