Visual Field Test question

Visual Field Test question

What does it mean if beside the "MD" in the results section,  it says this in bold:   P < 5%

It only says that for one of my eyes and on the other eye it doesn't have this in bold. Doctor didn't say anything about it but now i'm worrying as I read the report at home.

MD = Mean deviation.  P< 5% means it is statistically significant.

Please discuss with your doctor.  These test have to be correlated with other ocular findings.
