You should try c3R , you should keep keratoplasty last option , because acceptance of cornea from another person is not hundred percent guaranteed because source of cornea is unknown & with so much effort you may not get satisfaction with vision you get after keratoplasty

Hello, In your case of advanced Keratoconus, can suggest you to go for INTACS with C3R. But before that need to get corneal topography for planning. Corneal transplant is last option given when cornea is thinned out with lot of scarring. Transplant has its own disadvantages. Kindly consult good cornea specialist for further management at your place.
