There is provided a system, apparatus and methods for developing laser systems that can create a precise predetermined jigsaw capsulotomy. The systems, apparatus and methods further provide laser systems that can use a single laser as a therapeutic laser and as laser radar and that reduce the patient-to-patient variability and doctor-to-doctor variability associated with hand held apparatus for performing capsulorhexis and capsulotomies. There is further provided a precise predetermined jigsaw shot pattern and shaped capsulotomy that is based at least in part on the shape of an IOL and in particular an accommodating IOL.

1. A system for reducing eye-to-eye and surgeon-to-surgeon variability in performing procedures to create cuts in a capsule of a lens of an eye, the system comprising: a laser for producing a laser beam;an optical path for directing the laser beam from the laser to a lens of an eye; anda control sys
1. A system for reducing eye-to-eye and surgeon-to-surgeon variability in performing procedures to create cuts in a capsule of a lens of an eye, the system comprising: a laser for producing a laser beam;an optical path for directing the laser beam from the laser to a lens of an eye; anda control system for at least directing the laser beam in a predetermined jigsaw capsulotomy pattern comprising a plurality of laser shots positioned in x, y and z directions as they are directed toward the lens of the eye, wherein the predetermined jigsaw capsulotomy pattern is formed by directing the plurality of shots along a planar pattern contained in an x-y plane, and performing, for each x-y position of the planar pattern, a series of tightly spaced full wave sweeps in the z-direction. 2. The system of claim 1 wherein: the predetermined jigsaw capsulotomy pattern comprises a first essentially straight section, a second essentially straight section, a first curved section and a second curved section; and the first essentially straight section is connected to the first and second curved sections. 3. The system of claim 1 wherein a shape of the predetermined jigsaw capsulotomy pattern is based at least in part on a shape of an IOL, the IOL comprising a hinge, and the predetermined jigsaw capsulotomy pattern essentially following the shape of the IOL. 4. The system of claim 1 wherein the laser beam comprises a first power below LIOB and a second power at or above LIOB. 5.
