Kreutzwaldi Silmakeskus

What Kreutzwaldi Silmakeskus does

Kreutzwaldi Silmakeskus is a private ophthalmology clinic headquartered at Kreutzwaldi 3 in Tallinn, Estonia, operating since 2013 under the Estonian private limited company OÜ Silmaarst Krista Turman and led by Dr Krista Turman. The clinic provides ophthalmology and optometry consultations, advanced diagnostic examinations, and therapeutic procedures across general eye care, dry eye syndrome, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, pediatric eye conditions, and diabetic eye disease. It runs a dedicated Dry Eye Clinic sub-brand (Kuiva Silma Kliinik) and operates a second Tallinn site at Järve 2 in collaboration with Turman Silmakliinik.

The clinic's technology stack centers on premium diagnostic and treatment hardware: a Heidelberg Engineering Spectralis OCT unit (described as the only one in Estonia), Lumenis OptiLight IPL for FDA-approved dry eye therapy, Antares non-invasive tear-film diagnostics, Supra Scan 577 yellow-wavelength laser for retinal treatments, REXON EYE cell-regeneration therapy, and an SLT/YAG Optimis Fusion laser. Medical staff — most with 25+ years of practice — are supplemented by an international consultant network spanning the US, UK, and Spain (Dr Rolando Toyos, Prof James S. Wolffsohn, Prof Victor Chong, Dr Brian Fernandez, Dr Adam Booth, Dr Martin McKibbin, Dr Luz María Vasquez).

The business model combines fee-for-service professional revenue (consultations, diagnostic examinations, laser and IPL treatments, eyelid surgery) with reimbursement from Eesti Haigekassa under its contracted-partner status, plus packaged preventive-care offerings (My Eyes 40+, Golden Years 60+, Eye Passport, and prevention packages for glaucoma, AMD, and dry eye). Patients access services through phone registration, a nationwide web booking portal, or walk-in visits, and the clinic markets through a multilingual website, Facebook, Instagram, and earned media appearances on Äripäeva Virtuaalkliinik. The primary facility is temporarily closed for renovation from 15.06.2026 to 12.07.2026.
