A system for accurately delivering bilateral simultaneous equi-dosed time-fractionated pulsed UVA to irradiate a class of riboflavin/collagen mixture in the presence of oxygen for treatment of ocular tissue such as scleral and corneal tissue. The system employs ocular trial frames for mounting on the face that are fitted with 1) a nozzle for introducing Riboflavin in solution to collagen on the surface of the ocular tissue, 2) a port for introducing oxygen-rich gas to the ocular tissue, and 3) a pair of optical collimator inserts mounted in the lens holders, wherein the collimator inserts have a mask in the optical path at an aperture on focal point to control the pattern of UVA radiation at the ocular target, the collimator inserts further having optical input ports coupled to a controlled source of UVA radiation that is operative in accordance with the related inventive method.
