Claim 0:
1. A method of using a laser eye surgical system, comprising:
forming a pulsed laser beam with a laser beam source;
directing the pulsed laser beam through shared optics and a patient interface to form a focal point in an eye to be sampled and deflecting back-reflected light from the eye to a confocal detector;
receiving one or more parameters defining one or more ocular incisions;
using an imaging apparatus, imaging the eye;
identifying an expected scan location within the image of the eye corresponding to the one or more ocular incisions based on the one or more parameters;
scanning the focal point of the pulsed laser beam in a region of the eye;
using the imaging apparatus, detecting luminescence from the scanned region of the eye, wherein the luminescence is generated by the eye in response to the pulsed laser beam and has a wavelength different from a wavelength of the pulsed laser beam;
identifying an actual scanned location within the image of the eye based on the detected luminescence; and
generating a warning if a difference between the actual scanned location and the expected scan location is above a predetermined threshold value.
