A laser surgical system for making incisions in ocular tissues during cataract surgery includes a laser system, an imaging device and a control system. The laser system includes a scanning assembly and a laser to generate a laser beam that incises ocular tissue. The imaging device acquires image data of a crystalline lens and constructs an image from the image data. The control system operates the imaging device to generate image data for the patient's crystalline lens, processes the image data to determine an anterior capsule incision scanning pattern for scanning a focal zone of the laser beam to perform an anterior capsule incision, and operates the laser and the scanning assembly to scan the focal zone of the laser beam in the anterior capsule incision scanning pattern, wherein the focal zone is guided by the control system based on the image data.

1. A laser surgical system for making incisions in ocular tissues during a cataract surgical procedure, the system comprising: a laser system comprising a scanning assembly, a laser operable to generate a laser beam configured to incise ocular tissue;an imaging device configured to acquire image data from locations distributed throughout a volume of a crystalline lens of the patient and construct one or more images of the patient's eye tissues from the image data, wherein the one or more images comprise an image of at least a portion of the crystalline lens; anda control system operably coupled to the laser system and configured to: operate the imaging device to generate image data for the patient's crystalline lens;process the image data to determine an anterior capsule incision scanning pattern for scanning a focal zone of the laser beam for performing an anterior capsule incision, wherein the anterior capsule incision is not in the form of a circle; andoperate the laser and the scanning assembly to scan the focal zone of the laser beam in the anterior capsule incision scanning pattern to perform the anterior capsule incision, wherein positioning of the focal zone is guided by the control system based on the image data. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the anterior capsule incision is in the form of a flap. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein the flap is hemi-circular. 4. The system of claim 2, wherein the flap is curvilinear. 5. The system of claim 2, wherein the anterior capsular incision comprises bilateral incisions minimally sized for accommodating at least one selected from the group consisting of an irrigating tip, an aspirating tip, and an ultrasound tip. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the laser beam has a wavelength between 800 nm and 1,100 nm, the laser beam comprises pulses having pulse energy between 1.0 micro joules and 1000 micro joules, a pulse duration between about 100 femtoseconds and about 10 picoseconds, and a pulse repetition rate between 1 kHz and about 100 kHz. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the anterior capsule incision scanning pattern is configured to scan the focal zone to different depths, and wherein the focal zone is first scanned at a maximum depth and then scanned to sequentially shallower depths. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the control system is configured to control the laser and the scanning assembly to scan the focal zone of the laser beam to segment the lens into the discrete fragments by scanning the focal zone in one or more lens fragmentation scanning patterns. 9. The system of claim 8, wherein the discrete fragments are sized to be removable through a lumen of an ophthalmic aspiration probe. 10. The system of claim 8, wherein the one or more lens fragmentation scanning patterns include at least one of a linear pattern, a planar pattern, a radial pattern, a circular pattern, a spiral pattern, a curvilinear pattern, or two or more overlapping line segments. 11. The system of claim 8, wherein: scanning the focal zone in the one or more lens fragmentation scanning patterns comprises sequentially applying laser pulses to different depths within the lens; andthe laser pulses are first applied at a maximum depth within the lens and then applied to sequentially shallower depths within the lens. 12. The system of claim 1, wherein: the scanning assembly comprises a z-axis scanning device and a transverse scanning device, the z-axis device being operable to change the location of the focal zone of the laser beam parallel to the direction of propagation of the laser beam, the transverse scanning device being operable to scan the location of the focal zone transverse to the direction of propagation of the laser beam; andthe scanning assembly is configured such that the laser beam is acted upon by the z-axis scanning device before being acted upon by the transverse scanning device. 13. The system of claim 12, wherein: the z-axis scanning device comprises one or more movable lenses; andthe transverse scanning device comprises one or more controllable scanning elements. 14. The system of claim 1, wherein the control system is configured to: process the image data to determine one or more axial locations of the anterior capsule of the lens; and or more anterior capsule axial locations. 15. The system of claim 14, wherein the control system is configured to determine a posterior cutting boundary for the anterior capsule incision scanning pattern based on the one or more anterior capsule axial locations. 16. The system of claim 1, wherein the control system is configured to determine an anterior cutting boundary for the anterior capsule incision scanning pattern based on the one or more anterior capsule axial locations. 17. The system of claim 1, wherein the control system configures the anterior capsule incision scanning pattern based in part on an input from a user interface.
