Claim 0:
1. A method for treating target tissue in a patient's eye, comprising:
by an ultrafast laser source, generating a laser beam having a plurality of laser pulses;
by a wavefront sensing system, measuring an optical aberration of the eye;
by an Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) device, generating signals representing an image of a cornea and limbus of the eye;
by a controller, determining a treatment pattern based upon the signals from the OCT device; and
by a scanner under control of the controller, scanning a focal point of the laser beam according to the treatment pattern to form a cataract incision in the cornea that provides access for lens removal instrumentation to a crystalline lens of the patient's eye and one or more relaxation incisions in the cornea or limbus, wherein the cataract incision has an arcuate extent of less than 360 degrees in a top view, wherein the cataract incision includes a bevel shape in a cross-sectional view, the bevel shape including a first segment and a second segment which intersect each other at an angle, the cataract incision being entirely located in the cornea and intersecting both an anterior surface and a posterior surface of the cornea.
