The circumstances surrounding the video above are that Lekeisha was having “a mental breakdown in her room when she noticed she was crying yellow tears.”
After a long day at school and a doctor’s appointment, the student came back hungry, tired and a bit emotional.

According to IOL, Lekeisha shares, “I usually record myself while I’m crying or venting, so I looked down at my phone and saw that my tears were yellow. At the time I didn’t know why, but after a while I realised it was because I came from the eye doctor.”
Eye specialist Dr Nozipho Xulu shares with the publication:
Fluorescein is the dye we use. It goes off the tears that form part of the tear film, which is the first layer of the eye. When we put the dye in, it stains the tear film. It’s a diagnostic dye that we use because if someone has any defects on the tear film or cornea, then we will be able to see those defects.
