Biology is variable: The parameters you listed are rough indexes of the changes in your retina based upon anatomical scans with limits, and physiological measurements dependent upon personal response and accuracy. Summed up, these figures represent a range. it sounds like you want absolute accuracy (e.g. 52%) but no medical measurements have such accuracy.
