Frequently asked questions

KSA Vision Clinic combines cutting-edge technology, comprehensive vision examinations, internationally experienced specialists, and truly patient-focused service. We continually invest in equipment and staff training to provide the highest standard of vision correction services.

We specialize in correcting myopia (short-sightedness) using excimer laser technology, and we offer comprehensive vision examinations to find the best solution for every patient.

Our clinics are in Tallinn and Tartu, both easily accessible by car or public transport.

Our team regularly participates in international trainings, conferences, and clinic visits around the world to gain the latest knowledge and skills.

A thorough examination provides hundreds of precise measurements, allowing us to assess the condition of your eyes and ensure the procedure is both safe and effective.

No, laser procedures are not suitable for all patients. We carry out a detailed pre-selection process to minimise risks and ensure the best possible results.

We only operate on patients for whom the expected outcome is the highest possible, reducing the likelihood of needing additional procedures in the future.

A complete diagnosis helps prevent surgery on unsuitable eyes, minimises the risk of complications, and ensures a faster, smoother recovery.

The Nidek TS-310 combines the chart and refractor into a single digital workstation. The same high-resolution chart is used for distance (5 m) and near (40 cm) testing, switching between them with one button — the result is repeatable and precise, unlike manually swapped charts and lenses.

No — the ergonomic refractor head design without a pole allows the exam to be performed from either side of the patient and suits both sitting and standing, making the exam smoother and more comfortable.

The device performs a 3D scan of the retina and measures layer thickness — for example, the nerve fibre layer (NFL) and ganglion cell layer (GCL) thickness for glaucoma assessment, or the macula's condition to detect macular disease.

A scan speed of 70,000 measurements per second means the exam typically takes under two seconds. The exam is contact-free and painless — the patient simply looks into the device.

OCT-Angio HD visualises retinal and choroidal blood vessels without dye injection. This add-on module is in use at both KSA clinics (Tallinn and Tartu).

Yes — in October 2026, both clinics will receive new Canon Xephilio OCT-R1 devices, which combine OCT and a 32.5 MP retinal camera and allow a fully automated, one-touch exam for both eyes.

From about 5 months old up to adulthood. The child doesn't need to be able to read a chart or actively cooperate — it's enough for them to briefly look toward the device from about one metre away.

Myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, strabismus, anisometropia (unequal refractive power between the eyes), anisocoria (unequal pupil size), and media opacities (such as cataracts). The result is touch-free and ready within seconds.

Four measurements with one device: prescription (refraction), corneal curvature (keratometry), intraocular pressure (tonometry, with a non-contact air-puff), and corneal thickness (pachymetry).

The TRK-2P uses a soft, precisely software-controlled air-puff — the nozzle design and calibrated air volume make the measurement more comfortable. The device also factors in corneal thickness when evaluating the result, giving a more accurate reading.

It's a visual field (perimetry) testing device that tracks the patient's gaze with a camera built into the VR headset, up to 240 times per second. The patient doesn't need to press a response button — just look at the light — which reduces false results caused by fatigue.

No — the VR headset creates its own dark environment inside the device, so the test can be done in any clinic room. Screening takes about 1.5 minutes per eye.

Rexon-Eye uses QMR (Quantum Molecular Resonance) technology — a weak alternating current in the 4–64 MHz frequency range that stimulates the eye's natural cell regeneration and has an anti-inflammatory effect. Treatment is delivered through electrodes built into a mask worn over closed eyes.

A typical course consists of 4 sessions (about 20–40 minutes each), once a week. Around 80% of patients feel noticeable relief from dry eye symptoms by the end of the course.

Schwind Sirius is an advanced diagnostic device that measures the properties of the eye and cornea in 3D, enabling us to create a personalized treatment plan for each patient.

It combines a rotating Scheimpflug camera with a corneal topographer to produce a precise 3D image with more than 100,000 measurement points.

The device accurately describes the morphology and stage of keratoconus, helping doctors choose the most effective treatment strategy.

Pupillometry measures pupil size and reaction under different lighting conditions. This is important for collecting the data needed to plan a precise and safe laser procedure.

Our team includes specialists in ophthalmology, optometry, and optics who are passionate about their field and have extensive practical experience.

We have performed over 55,000 laser procedures and more than 200,000 comprehensive vision examinations.

It gives them personal insight into the patient experience, enabling them to provide even better guidance and care.

We continually improve our service standards by visiting leading vision clinics around the world and applying best practices.

Both clinics are easy to reach by car or public transport.

Yes, you can park on the street or in nearby car parks at reasonable rates.

We have created a calm and welcoming environment where examinations and procedures take place without stress. In our waiting areas, you’ll find pleasant music, complimentary tea, coffee, soft drinks, and snacks. Our friendly and supportive team will make sure you always feel welcome and cared for.

Flow3 is completely painless because the laser never touches your eye. You may only feel slight pressure, see bright light, and notice cool liquids used by the surgeon. Most patients say they were pleasantly surprised at how easy and comfortable the experience was.

Flow3 is incision-free and highly precise, which means the risks are minimal. All vision correction is performed through laser reshaping, without cuts. Even in the unlikely event of a power outage, our powerful UPS ensures the laser continues seamlessly. The key to a successful outcome is following the recovery instructions carefully during the first week.

The results last for decades because the removed portion of the cornea does not grow back. However, vision can change later in life due to factors such as aging, hormones, or health conditions.

Flow3 is an investment that pays for itself quickly – over a lifetime, glasses, contact lenses, and care products can cost more than €15,000. Flow3 typically pays for itself within 3–4 years. We also offer flexible payment options starting from €50 per month.

While your vision may be good enough right after the procedure, it can fluctuate during the first days. We recommend waiting about a week until your vision is stable and clear.

We do not recommend it. Hormonal changes can affect your vision and the final outcome. The best time is about three months after you finish breastfeeding, when your eyes have stabilised.

Flow3 is designed for patients aged 18–45 who wear minus glasses or contact lenses (for myopia).
