MD - 2.18dB Global Indices : Mean Deviation or Mean Defect (MD ) Mean of deviation of the visual field from normal .
PSD 4.63dB p < 1 % Global Indices Pattern Standard Deviation ( PSD) / Loss Variance (LV) Standard deviation of deviation Indicates the degree to which the numbers differ from each other “Roughness” or “potholes” in the hill of vision
