On 11 May, KSA Silmakeskus celebrated 16 years. To mark the occasion, we pulled together 16 things worth knowing about our clinic and the Flow3 laser procedure we specialise in.
1. We opened our doors on 11 May 2005
That's when the first patient walked through KSA Silmakeskus. Sixteen years on, we've become one of the region's most trusted names in vision correction.
2. About 75% of our staff have had the procedure themselves
This matters. When you come to KSA, you're not just hearing from people who read about laser eye surgery—you're being treated by people who've lived it. They know what recovery feels like. They know what seeing without glasses in the morning feels like.
3. We focus on one thing: myopia correction with Flow3
We don't do everything. We do Flow3—the flapless surface laser procedure. It's the only minus-lens correction we offer, and it's the one we've perfected.
4. "I want to see clearly the moment I wake up"
It's one of the most common reasons people choose Flow3. No glasses on the bedside table. No contact lenses to insert. Just open your eyes and see.
5. Dr. Ants Haavel founded KSA and performs every procedure
He's an ophthalmologist with over 20 years of experience. He's not delegating this work to someone else. Every patient is his responsibility.
6. We've conducted over 200,000 eye assessments and freed more than 30,000 people from glasses
That's not marketing speak. That's 30,000 lives that look different now.
7. Our patients come from every walk of life
Sportspeople, actors, musicians, designers, security personnel, office workers, executives. If glasses or contact lenses were getting in the way of your work or passion, you'll find someone like you in our patient list.
8. We're based in Tallinn and Tartu—laser procedures in Tallinn
Eye assessments happen in both cities. All Flow3 procedures are performed at our Tallinn clinic.
9. Our team stays at the cutting edge
Our staff regularly train at conferences and clinics around the world—with the European and American Academies of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, and at specialist centres in Odessa, Moscow, Oxford, and India.
10. Most of our new patients come through personal recommendation
Not advertising. Not marketing. Word of mouth. People who've had the procedure tell their friends it was worth it.
11. The procedure takes 30 seconds
Thirty seconds to potentially change how you see for the rest of your life. No overnight hospital stays. No weeks of downtime. Recovery is roughly one week.
12. You can't blink during the laser—and that's by design
We use an eyelid holder that keeps your eye perfectly still. You don't need to worry about moving at the critical moment. The technology handles that.
13. After Flow3, there are no long-term lifestyle restrictions
No reason to give up your sport, your hobby, or your passion. That's exactly why active people choose this procedure. It's designed for people who live life fully.
14. Our patients fly in from around the world
Philippines. Australia. Germany. People trust us enough to travel. That tells you something.
15. We're 100% independent
KSA Silmakeskus is a private clinic. Our decisions are ours alone.
