STAAR, which has been dedicated solely to ophthalmic surgery for over 30 years, designs, develops, manufactures and markets implantable lenses for the eye with companion delivery systems.

These lenses are intended to provide visual freedom for patients, lessening or eliminating the reliance on glasses or contact lenses. All of these lenses are foldable, which permits the surgeon to insert them through a small incision.

Worldwide, more than 1,000,000 lenses have been implanted to date. STAAR has approximately 475 full-time equivalent employees and markets lenses in over 75 countries.
