	CALS: Biometry and Statistics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Biometry and Statistics majors learn to use quantitative methods to solve problems in the biological, physical, and social sciences.
		Biometry is the application of statistics, mathematics, computing, and other quantitative methods to phenomena and problems in the life sciences.
		The number of courses required specifically for the Biometry and Statistics major is not large, and each student is encouraged to develop a concentration of courses in a related area.

	Review of Ophthalmology
		Biometry is headed in the direction of the Zeiss Humphrey IOLMaster and more sophisticated laser interferometry equipment (See the feature on the IOLMaster this month).
		Common errors in biometry prior to cataract surgery are typically found in axial length measurements.
		In the theoretical world, there is no question that immersion A-scan should be superior to contact biometry, simply because it is easier for the machine to recognize where the vertex of the cornea is. With applanation, it’s often difficult to recognize that first “bang,” because it’s right at the vertex of the cornea.

	Division of Biometry and Risk Assessment
		Director: Ralph L. Kodell, Ph.D. The Division of Biometry and Risk Assessment is primarily concerned with conducting research that addresses the FDA need for new and improved methods of risk assessment, assessing the uncertainty associated with current approaches, and developing and applying new methods for the assessment of human exposure, susceptibility, and risk.
		It may involve the quantitative determination of estimates of risk corresponding to specific exposure levels, or it may simply involve a general determination that given exposure levels are sufficiently low to pose a negligible risk to those exposed.
		The research conducted by the Biometry and Risk Assessment division is relevant to the FDA’s strategic goals of improving the pre-market review process and of establishing strong post-market assurance standards.

	Optical Coherence Biometry (OCB) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Optical coherence biometry (i.e., partial coherence interferometry, laser interference biometry, laser Doppler interferometry) utilizes a non-invasive, non-contact diagnostic device that measures axial length, corneal curvature, and anterior chamber depth.
		Optical coherence biometry has been introduced as an alternative technique to measure the axial length of the eye for cataract surgery.
		There is no direct evidence that optical coherence biometry results in improved health outcomes as assessed by postoperative refractive errors, need for lenses, or need for re-operation for intraocular lens exchange.

		Zar's book is probably the more understandable primer text on statistics of the two, but BIOMETRY is better at addressing non-parametrics, though it is certainly not a comprehensive treatment of that field of statistical analysis.
		I appreciate the inside covers of BIOMETRY, with its summary table that provides a starting place for choosing the most likely statistical tests for a give comination of numbers of samples and numbers of variables in an experiment.
		Biometry is weak at helping you actually run tests.
