Introduction: hemolacria is a rare phenomenon of tears that are completely or partially composed of blood. Currently, one case is reported for every one million inhabitants, and their predilection towards a specific gender, race or age is unknown. Objective: to describe the causative agents of hemolacria as a nosological entity. Material and Method: abibliographic review was made based on a total of 29 bibliographic references used. Articles from national and international journals from the databases, Medline, Scielo, Elsevier and Open Journal were used. Articles were selected that had a maximum of 5 years or less of having been published. The quality, reliability and validity of the selected articles were analyzed for an adequate review. Development: hemolacria is a physical condition, which causes the production of tears that are completely or partially composed of blood. It can manifest itself as tears that contain some reddish tones until they appear to be made entirely of blood. Among the causes are conditions of the ocular structures, hereditary hemorrhagic telangestacia, congenital deficiency of coagulation factor VII, hypertension, some benign neoplasms, acute myeloid leukemia and excessive use of drugs such as warfarin.Conclusions: hemolacria is a symptom of numerous diseases and is caused by various ocular, systemic, psychological, pharmacological and idiopathic conditions.
