MD and PSD for glaucoma eyes correspond to the values obtained from the first abnormal visual field of the conversion sequence. Values correspond to mean ± standard deviation, unless specified otherwise.
MD: Mean Deviation; PSD: Pattern Standard Deviation. RNFL: Retinal nerve fiber layer; RGC: Retinal ganglion cell.
