Meet Kadri — a woman with infectious energy who always seems to be juggling a dozen things at once. Yet somehow, she found time to fit laser eye surgery into her packed schedule at KSA Silmakeskus.
A life in motion
By day, Kadri leads sales at a growing Baltic company. By night (and weekends), she's a dedicated athlete and musician. Her trophy cabinet includes four consecutive ParisVille Crosstraining pair competition wins in her category, plus a respectable second place in the Fitgames series. When she's not in the gym, she's at the piano — playing keyboards in two bands and teaching private lessons. Oh, and she's made it to the Estonia Song Festival twice, both as a performer and as a composer.
Not bad for someone trying to manage a career, fitness, and music all at once.
The contact lens frustration
For years, Kadri had thought about laser eye surgery. It never quite happened — until one day she realised the logistics of vision correction were wearing her down.
She wore glasses as fashion accessories, sure, but contacts during training and summer holidays. The problem? Dry eyes. Constant rewetting. Planning around sunglasses. Small annoyances that added up.
One day, something clicked. She had the finances sorted. She'd read enough patient stories to know what was possible. Most importantly, she understood what she'd gain: real freedom.
The decision was made. Green light given.
Seven minutes to transformation
During the procedure, Kadri's mind kept returning to one thought: "Let this go well. Let me see clearly soon."
Dr. Ants Haavel kept her calm and distracted. Before she knew it, the Flow3 procedure was over.
"Already done? That fast?" she remembered thinking. Seven to nine minutes in the procedure room — most of that was laser calibration, not the actual treatment itself. Her second thought was simpler: "Yes. Done. Now let's heal."
Recovery: faster than expected
We asked Kadri how recovery went and when she could return to normal life.
"Recovery has been smooth. I want to thank our optometrist Ave specially — she stayed in touch throughout and checked how I was doing. I took it easy at home for about a week and a half before carefully easing back into computer work and training. At first, distance vision was sharp but near vision was a bit soft.
Today? I see better than I ever did with glasses or contacts. After my last check-up, they confirmed my vision is 125%."
For those still thinking about it
We asked Kadri what she'd say to people dreaming of laser surgery but held back by fear.
"Take the time. Book an eye exam first. It's the best decision I've made. Seriously."
Kadri's story is one of hundreds at KSA Silmakeskus. Over 55,000 procedures performed. The entire clinical team chose Flow3 for their own eyes — that tells you something.
