A brownish line of iron deposition across the lower third of the cornea, occurring in apparently normal eyes in the elderly, as well as in some pathological conditions in both old and young persons. It is normally present in people over the age of 50, but seems to dissipate to some degree by the age of 70. The Hudson-Stahl line is not associated with any pathology calling for clinical intervention.
