In moderate keratoconus : cross linking with intracorneal ring segments implantation or there is another therapeutic alternative is a simulaneous photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) followed by corneal cross linking. 

When there is scars in stage 4, keratoplasty is the only therapeutic indication. It is better to perform deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty
