Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Primary retinal detachment is characterized by a hole in the retina. Secondary detachment results when blood, fluid, or a tumor gets behind and displaces the retina.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Keratoplasty removes a damaged cornea and replaces it with a healthy cornea from a human donor. Keratoplasty is the most successful transplantation procedure because the cornea is avascular and has less rejection.
