Combination of violet light irradiation and collagenase treatments in a rabbit model.

Collagenase type II treatment can mimic keratoconus with increased corneal keratometry and astigmatism. There was no significant difference in the observed elastic behaviour of normal and ectatic corneas under physiologically relevant stress levels. VL irradiation did not cause regression of corneal steepening in this model with short-term observation.
