Haemolacria is a physical condition whereby a person produces tears which are partially composed of blood. This can manifest as anything from red-tinged tears to those which appear to be entirely blood.

Haemolacria[1] is a symptom of a number of diseases, and may also be indicative of a tumor in the lacrimal apparatus.
