About STAAR Surgical
STAAR 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.
STAAR Surgical was founded in 1982 and has established itself as a leader in the development and manufacturing of innovative intraocular lenses (IOLs) and surgical devices for cataract and refractive surgery. Initially focused on the introduction of foldable IOLs, the company pioneered several advanced lens technologies, including the use of hydrophilic and hydrophobic materials.
Over the years, STAAR has expanded its product portfolio to include the EVO ICL, a revolutionary phakic intraocular lens designed for vision correction. With a commitment to research and development, STAAR has made significant contributions to ophthalmic surgery, becoming a trusted name in the industry, known for its focus on enhancing patient outcomes and promoting safer surgical techniques.
On managing myopia with the EVO ICL:
“We’ve actually got a couple of patients we took from minus 20 to 20/20, which is one of the most fun experiences to deliver to people. It’s incredible.”
