Treatment
Doctors prescribed antibiotics and drops to the young woman. Initially the young woman reacted to treatment, stopping showing tears. However, the symptoms worsened over the days, so there was no more option to stop taking the medications.
Some doctors hypothesize that it could be cystinosis. This is a genetic mutation that promotes the accumulation of lysosomes of the amino acid Cistina, which tends to form crystals in cells. This strange disease can affect eyes, kidneys and other organs, according to specialists.
