Definition (free text, please give PubMed ID)
Curvilinear or circumferential breaks in Descemet’s membrane, typically associated with congenital glaucoma. Haab’s striae result from elevated intraocular pressure during corneal development, leading to the formation of horizontal or arcuate lines that may be visible on slit-lamp examination. They can contribute to corneal astigmatism and visual impairment.
