Ophthalmologist and eye clinic in Tallinn
J. Vilmsi 5 / Raua 36, in the city centre. This is where the ophthalmologist sees patients, where our optometrists run eye examinations, and where the operating suite is — every KSA laser procedure happens here.
What happens in Tallinn
The Tallinn clinic is KSA's main site and the only one with an operating suite. Both examinations and all laser procedures take place here. On 25 October 2026 the suite receives a new SCHWIND AMARIS 1050RS in the Signature Line configuration — the only one in the Baltics in that configuration.

Eye examinations are not a healthcare service and are carried out by optometrists. The laser procedure is a healthcare service and is performed by an ophthalmologist.
Ophthalmologist or optometrist — what is the difference
The optometrist runs the examination
An optometrist measures your vision, your prescription and the state of the eye, and carries out the Audit examination. They do not diagnose or prescribe treatment. Most people who come about their vision see an optometrist first — and often that is enough.
The ophthalmologist diagnoses and treats
An ophthalmologist is a doctor. You need one when there is disease or a suspicion of it: eye pressure, glaucoma, cataract, inflammation, a retinal problem. The laser procedure is always performed by an ophthalmologist. No referral is needed.
The surgeons
KSA's laser procedures are performed by eye surgeons Dr Ants Haavel and Dr Karl-Erik Tillmann. Ants Haavel founded KSA in 2005 and is a refractive and corneal surgeon.
The optometry team
Examinations are run by KSA's team of optometrists. A full examination takes about an hour, and the optometrist talks you through the results in full.

When to arrive
Come 5–10 minutes before your appointment. Bring the glasses or lenses you currently wear, and any earlier test results you have.
What we examine with
An examination is not one measurement but several — that is how we tell whether your vision changed because of your prescription or because of something else.
Corneal topography
Measures the shape and thickness of the cornea. This is what shows whether a laser procedure suits your eye — and when it does not.
OCT
Optical coherence tomography shows the layers of the retina and the optic nerve. Glaucoma and macular changes appear here, often before anyone notices them.
Dry eye diagnostics
Meibography and tear film assessment with the Sirius device, with a written summary.
SCHWIND AMARIS 1050RS
The excimer laser the Flow3 procedure is performed with. This is the only KSA site that has one, and from 25.10.2026 it is in the Signature Line configuration. Read about laser vision correction.

No. You can book an ophthalmologist appointment at KSA without a referral — book online or call +372 644 5060.
An eye examination is run by an optometrist: they measure your vision and the state of the eye, but do not diagnose. An ophthalmologist is a doctor — they diagnose, prescribe treatment and perform procedures. If you are not sure which you need, call and we will help you choose.
All prices are on the price list. The laser procedure can also be paid for in instalments.
Yes. It means no queueing and enough time set aside for you. Book online or call +372 644 5060.
A full Audit examination takes about an hour. An ophthalmologist appointment is shorter.
If your pupils are dilated during the examination, your vision stays blurred for a few hours and light is uncomfortable. Do not plan to drive yourself that day.
The glasses or lenses you currently wear, and any earlier test results. If you wear contact lenses, leave them out for a few days beforehand — lenses change the shape of the cornea and that affects the measurement.
Yes. We check children's vision from the age of 2.5, either with an optometrist or together with an ophthalmologist.
Eye examinations are not a healthcare service and are carried out by optometrists. The laser procedure is a healthcare service and is performed by an ophthalmologist.
