1. A laser eye surgery system, comprising:
a cutting laser subsystem configured to generate a pulsed laser beam;
an optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging subsystem, the OCT imaging subsystem including an adjustable reference path length, the OCT imaging subsystem configured to produce a detection beam having a plurality of wavelengths such that the detection window spans a range of distances relative to the laser eye surgery system; and
control electronics operably connected to the cutting laser subsystem and the OCT imaging subsystem, the control electronics programmed to:
control the OCT imaging subsystem to locate a centrally-located point on the lens capsule anterior surface;
control the OCT imaging subsystem to direct an OCT sample beam into the eye with the reference path length set to position the detection window to encompass the lens capsule anterior surface and the iris;
process returning portions of the sample beam to identify, relative to the laser eye surgery system, a plurality of edge points within the detection window, each edge point being disposed on an optical surface;
generate a surface model of the lens capsule anterior surface based on the location of the centrally-located point on the lens capsule anterior surface and a subset of the edge points;
select a subset of the edge points that are offset from the surface model of the lens capsule anterior surface; and
generate a surface model of the iris based on the subset of the edge points that are offset from the surface model of the lens capsule anterior surface.
