Claim 8:
9. An apparatus for determining an index of refraction of a material, comprising:
a tomography system comprising a light source to generate a beam of light; and
a processor comprising a tangible medium coupled to the tomography system and configured to receive data from the tomography system,
wherein the tangible medium embodies instructions to:
determine at least one index of refraction of the material in response to at least one location of a focal point of the beam,
determine a plurality of indices of refraction of a plurality of tissue structures of an eye along an optical path to a targeted tissue structure of an eye, and
determine a focus position of a pulsed laser beam to incise tissue in response to the plurality of indices of refraction along the optical path, the plurality of tissue structures comprising one or more of a tear film, a cornea, an aqueous humor, a lens, an anterior lens capsule, an anterior lens cortex, a lens nucleus, a posterior lens cortex, a posterior lens capsule or a vitreous humor of the eye.
