Answer:
The Relative Afferent Pupillary Defect( RAPD) is a defect in the eye that causes a difference in the response of both the eyes whenever a light is incident on an eye.
In normal eyes, the reaction of both the eyes is linked which results in dilation of pupils of both the eyes whenever a bright light is shone.
This defect can be detected using the 'swinging light test'.
