A hospital has received a 24-year-old man, who had received a penetrating wound to the eye, which has caused the vitreous body to run out. As the result of this, retinal detachment occurred. What retinal layer was tightly adherent to the vascular tunic of the eye and did not detach?
- A. Inner nuclear layer
- B. Outer nuclear layer
- C. Ganglion cell layer
- D. Retinal pigment epithelium
- E. Layer of rods and cones
Hint
Recall that the retina develops from the two layers of the optic cup with only a potential space between them, and ask which layer stays bound to the choroid when the other lifts away.
