description: Curvilinear or circumferential breaks in Descemet membrane, typically associated with congenital glaucoma. Haab 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.
