Answer is A. Ans. a. It Is caused due to fibrous bands In the vitreous (Ref: Yanoff and Duker 4/e p649)Fibrous bands in the vitreous lead to fractional retinal detachment, not the rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.'A rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) occurs when a tear in the retina leads to fluid accumulation with a separation of the neurosensory retina from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium. - Yanoff and Duker 4/e p649For explanation, see question no, 168, AIIMS November 2014.
