Girl sheds 'crystal tears' claims father


A ten-year-old Pakistani girl in Ajman can produce small stones that look like crystals from her eyes, says her family.
Fatima presses on her lower eye lid to produce soft drops, which turn into a kind of hard stone that look like crystals, 'Gulf News' quoted her family as saying.
Her unemployed father has not been able to get his daughter's eyes checked because he cannot afford to pay the specialist's fee. "I have been jobless since February and we have no health cards so the hospital refused to check my daughter," Mohammad Zafar said.
However, Zafar claims to have consulted a doctor earlier who had told him this occurrence with his daughter's eyes was rare.
Fatima does not go to school because of her father's financial status.
