1. A system for delivering a laser beam to a lens of an eye in a plurality of patterns comprising:
a) a laser;
b) an optical path for directing a laser beam from the laser to the lens of the eye;
c) a control system configured to direct the laser beam in a first pattern on a first portion of the lens of the eye; and, to direct the laser beam in a second pattern on a second portion of the lens of the eye;
i) wherein the second pattern is configured to cut the lens into volumetric shapes;
ii) wherein the first pattern is configured to create an opening in the lens capsule for removal of the volumetric shapes; and,
e) a 3-dimensional viewing apparatus, whereby the system is configured to provide a stereoscopic image of the lens.
