What STAAR Surgical Company does

In the company’s own words

STAAR Surgical Company (Nasdaq: STAA) designs, develops, manufactures, and sells implantable lenses and delivery systems used in ophthalmic surgery. Its business is focused almost entirely on Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICLs), foldable lenses made from its proprietary Collamer material and implanted without removing the eye’s natural lens. The lenses treat refractive conditions including nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. The product portfolio includes the EVO family—EVO ICL, EVO+ ICL, EVO Visian ICL, and EVO Viva—as well as Visian ICL for hyperopia. Ophthalmologists are the primary users, while customers include surgeons, vision and surgical centers, hospitals, government facilities, and distributors; products are sold in more than 85 countries. STAAR reports one operating segment, ophthalmic surgical products, and ICLs account for approximately 100% of net sales. For fiscal 2025, 91% of reported worldwide revenue came from outside the United States. The company has focused its business on ICLs and phased out its cataract lens products.
