Claim:
1. A system for providing laser shot patterns to an eye, for the correction of induced astigmatic aberrations of the eye, the system comprising: a therapeutic laser for producing a laser beam; a controller configured to deliver a first laser shot pattern, a second laser shot pattern, and a third laser shot pattern; optics for receiving the laser beam and directing the laser beam to an eye to generate the first and the second shot patterns, wherein 1) the first laser shot pattern comprises a pattern for preforming an ophthalmic surgical procedure; 2) the second laser shot pattern comprises a pattern for sectioning a lens of an eye wherein one or more of the laser shot pattern for performing the ophthalmic surgical procedure and the laser shot pattern for sectioning a lens of an eye causes induced astigmatism to the eye; and 3) the third laser shot pattern for providing a sub-Bowman's membrane arcuate cut in a cornea of the eye, whereby the third laser pattern does not disrupt Bowman's membrane of the eye or an epithelium of the eye and reduces the induced astigmatism of the eye.
