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.
[1][2][3] Alacrima can be formally diagnosed through a Schirmer's test.
