This type of laser is used for the prevention or treatment of angle-closure glaucoma. In this condition, the iris blocks fluid drainage and thereby increases the inner eye pressure. LPI results in a small drainage hole within the iris that permits the drainage of fluid and thereby helps to lower the eye pressure.  1, record 1, English, - laser%20peripheral%20iridotomy

The hammer handle should always be tight in the head... The eye or hole in the hammer head is made with a slight taper in both directions from the center. After the handle, which is tapered to fit the eye, is inserted, in the head, a steel or wooden wedge is driven into the end of the handle that is inserted into the head. This wedge expands the handle and causes it to fill the opposite taper in the eye. Thus the handle is wedged in both directions...  4, record 4, English, - wedge

It is positioned over the metal in the bottom swage and struck with a sledge hammer by the striker. Top and bottom swages are sometimes used separately. There are individual bottom swages to fit in the hardy hole which do not have a corresponding to swage. A few top swages are made to be worked alone.  2, record 7, English, - top%20swage
