Background: Intra Ocular Pressure (IOP) is an important parameter for the detection and monitoring of glaucoma. Central corneal thickness (CCT) can influence the IOP estimated with Goldmann tonometry. A thick cornea overestimates the IOP and thin underestimates it. So, decreased CCT may lead to underdiagnosis and undertreatment of glaucoma and increased CCT may lead to overdiagnosis and overtreatment of glaucoma. The aim of the study is to identify the factors affecting the CCT in Nepalese population. Methods: A hospital based cross-sectional study which enrolled 152 subjects from period of January 2009 to May 2010. All subjects underwent ophthalmological examinations. CCT was measured with ultrasonic pachymeter and intraocular pressure was measured with Goldmann applanation tonometer. Results: The mean±SD CCT of right and left eye was 538±32 and 540±30μm respectively. CCT decreased with increasing age. Age and intra ocular pressure was significantly correlated with CCT. There was no significant correlation of gender and ethnicity with CCT. Conclusion: CCT decreased with increasing age. CCT was significantly correlated with age and intra ocular pressure but not with gender and ethnicity.

Mangroves have numerous ecological functions as well as economical values. In order to achieve successful of mangrove restoration and regain its functions, understanding on the factors affecting the establishment of mangroves are required. This study examined the characteristics of physico-chemical factors from three compartments (sediment, interstitial and seawater) that associated with different mangrove densities in Ampallas, District of Mamuju, West Sulawesi. The Principal Component Analysis and Spearman correlation analysis showed that high densities of adult and seedling mangroves strongly correlated to higher organic contents, dissolved oxygen of interstitial water, seawater salinities and lesser pH of sediments, seawater and interstitial. The reverse conditions applied for the less mangrove densities and control site that had no mangrove. In most cases, there were reciprocal relationships amongst the studied variables.Keywords: chemical-physical factors, density, mangroves.
