A system (44) for interfacing a surgical laser with an eye includes a first sensing element (72, 74) to couple to an output surface of the laser, an interface lens (52) having second sensing element {71, 76) coupled to a first surface of the interface lens, and a detector (24) coupled to the first sensing element. A second surface of the interface lens contacts the eye. The detector determines when the first sensing element contacts the second sensing element. A method for aligning the laser with the eye includes coupling the laser to the patient interface, sensing an electrical change indicating a position of the output surface with the interface lens, comparing the electrical change with a predetermined value to produce a correction, and re-positioning the laser with the correction.
