I've come across the term 'Alacrima' in a medical context, but I'm not sure what it means. Can you clarify?
Alacrima refers to an abnormality in tear production that could mean reduced tear production or absent tear production.  Because a lack of tears presents in only in a few rare disorders, it aids in diagnosis of these disorders, including Triple-A syndrome and NGLY1 deficiency.Alacrima can be formally diagnosed through a Schirmers test.
