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;
optics for receiving the laser beam and directing the laser beam to an eye so that: 1) a laser shot pattern for performing an ophthalmic surgical procedure is generated, 2) a laser shot pattern for sectioning a lens of an eye is generated, 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) a laser shot pattern for providing a sub-Bowman's membrane arcuate cut in a cornea of the eye, wherein the laser system provides the sub-Bowman's membrane arcuate cut in a manner that does not disrupt either Bowman's membrane of the eye or an epithelium of the eye and reduces the induced astigmatism of the eye.
