1. A cataract surgical system, comprising:

  • a laser source, configured to generate a first set of laser pulses;

    a guiding optic, coupled to the laser source, configured to guide the first set of laser pulses to a cataract target region in an eye;

    a laser controller, configuredto generate an electronic representation of a target scan pattern, andto control the guiding optic to scan the first set of laser pulses according to a portion of the target scan pattern to create a first photo-disrupted region in the cataract target region; and

    a Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomographic (SD-OCT) imaging system, configured to generate an image that includes a portion of the first photo-disrupted region;

    whereinthe laser controller is configuredto generate an electronic representation of a modified scan pattern in relation to the image generated by the SD-OCT imaging system, andto control the guiding optic to scan a second set of laser pulses according the modified scan pattern to create a second photo-disrupted region.
