the absence of light refraction function, agree with PGI2alpha, light does not reach the retina.

but from http://www.richmondeye.com/apd.asp --> scroll down to the end
"Conditions which will NOT cause a Relative Afferent Pupillary Defect include:
Refractive Error (even if extreme)
Media Opacity (a bright enough light will indicate NO RAPD)
Cataract (even if completely opaque)"
