1. A method of treating an eye with a laser beam, comprising:
measuring a plurality of characteristics of the eye by an eye sensor;
determining a model of the eye based on the measured characteristics;
receiving a rotation angle of an incision relative to a reference coordinate space;
generating a laser fragmentation pattern for treating the eye, wherein the laser fragmentation pattern is asymmetrical;
rotating the laser fragmentation pattern by the received rotation angle relative to the reference coordinate space; and
applying a laser beam by a laser source to a lens of the eye based on the rotated laser fragmentation pattern.
 
7. A method of treating an eye with a laser beam, comprising:
measuring a plurality of characteristics of the eye by an eye sensor;
determining a model of the eye based on the measured characteristics;
receiving a rotation angle of an incision relative to a reference coordinate space;
generating a laser fragmentation pattern for treating the eye;
rotating the laser fragmentation pattern by the received rotation angle relative to the reference coordinate space, wherein the model is aligned with the reference coordinate space and the rotated laser fragmentation pattern is aligned with the incision; and
applying a laser beam by a laser source to a lens of the eye based on the rotated laser fragmentation pattern.
 
8. A method of treating an eye with a laser beam, comprising:
measuring a plurality of characteristics of the eye by an eye sensor;
determining a model of the eye based on the measured characteristics;
receiving a rotation angle of an incision relative to a reference coordinate space, wherein the rotation angle is based on user input;
generating a laser fragmentation pattern for treating the eye;
rotating the laser fragmentation pattern by the received rotation angle relative to the reference coordinate space; and
applying a laser beam by a laser source to a lens of the eye based on the rotated laser fragmentation pattern.
