A laser system comprising: a laser source adapted to emit a femto second pulse laser beam along a laser beam axis; a fixation light source emitting a fixation beam along a fixation beam axis, wherein the laser beam axis and the fixation beam axis are collinear; a keratometer comprising: a first set of individual light sources that are equally spaced from one another along a first ring and adapted to direct a first light toward an eye; a second set of individual light sources that are equally spaced from one another along a second ring and adapted to direct a second light toward said eye, wherein said first ring and said second ring are co-planar and concentric with one another and centered about the laser beam and fixation beam axis; a telecentric lens adapted to receive said first light and second light reflected off of said eye; a detector adapted to receive light from said telecentric lens and to form an image; a processor adapted to receive signals from said detector representative of said image and to determine an astigmatism axis of said eye based on said signals; and wherein a visual axis of an eye, the keratometer and the laser beam axis are aligned. a laser source adapted to emit a femto second pulse laser beam along a laser beam axis; a fixation light source emitting a fixation beam along a fixation beam axis, wherein the laser beam axis and the fixation beam axis are collinear; a keratometer comprising: a first set of individual light sources that are equally spaced from one another along a first ring and adapted to direct a first light toward an eye; a second set of individual light sources that are equally spaced from one another along a second ring and adapted to direct a second light toward said eye, wherein said first ring and said second ring are co-planar and concentric with one another and centered about the laser beam and fixation beam axis; a telecentric lens adapted to receive said first light and second light reflected off of said eye; a detector adapted to receive light from said telecentric lens and to form an image; a processor adapted to receive signals from said detector representative of said image and to determine an astigmatism axis of said eye based on said signals; and wherein a visual axis of an eye, the keratometer and the laser beam axis are aligned. a first set of individual light sources that are equally spaced from one another along a first ring and adapted to direct a first light toward an eye; a second set of individual light sources that are equally spaced from one another along a second ring and adapted to direct a second light toward said eye, wherein said first ring and said second ring are co-planar and concentric with one another and centered about the laser beam and fixation beam axis; a telecentric lens adapted to receive said first light and second light reflected off of said eye; a detector adapted to receive light from said telecentric lens and to form an image; a processor adapted to receive signals from said detector representative of said image and to determine an astigmatism axis of said eye based on said signals; and wherein a visual axis of an eye, the keratometer and the laser beam axis are aligned.
