A Chinese woman has shocked friends and relations after it was discovered stones grow from her eye.
ccording to her husband, Liang Xinchun, stones can be discovered under his wife's eyelids whenever she suffers from a headache, the People's Daily Online reports.
The couple from Lufang village, east China's Shandong province, say local doctors have been baffled by the symptom and are not able to treat her.
The woman named Ding Aihua said she started suffering from the peculiar condition around seven years ago when she began to feel a pain in her eyes.
Her husband Liang Xinchun was shocked when he discovered a stone under her eyelid.
He said he managed to remove the stone but after a while, another stone appeared.
According to Liang, the hard silverish white stones were hard to remove. He says he has to use a small piece of iron wire to ease them out.
Liang has removed more than a dozen 'eye stones' from his wife and he keeps the in a small bottle in case he needs to show them to reporters and doctors.
Liang said: 'It really hurts her. Sometimes it comes from the upper eyelid and sometimes from the lower. She gets very anxious and you have to dig very hard.
It grinds her eyes giving her uncomfortable pain'.
Liang says that they have travelled across the country to seek treatment but doctors refuse to believe that the pair are being genuine.
They have now turned to the media for help inviting.
Journalists accompany the couple to the Aier Eye Hospital in Heze city, where Ding is being treated.
Doctor Cui Yinchun said they had not found any foreign substances in Ding's eyes. However, the woman suffers from serious eye diseases, including conjunctivitis and trachoma.
Aier Eye Hospital has sent the stones provided by the couple to regional mineral inspection authorities for further investigation.
This isn't the first case of people 'crying stones'. In 2014, it was reported that a 12-year-old from Yemen produced small, hard stones under her eyelids.
