We were pleased to announce on April&nbsp;28, 2005 that STAAR

members and that our new independent director, Don M. Bailey,
has been elected to assume the duties of Chairman of the Board.

Because these changes affect the matters to be voted on at
STAAR&#146;s Annual Meeting of the stockholders, we are
providing additional information in the attached Proxy Statement
Supplement. We are also providing a Revised Proxy Card to enable
stockholders to vote on re-electing Don Bailey to a full
three-year term. If you sign and return the Revised Proxy Card,
it will revoke and replace any previous proxy you have
submitted. If you do not sign and return the Revised Proxy Card,
your previous proxy will remain in effect, but it will not
include any vote on Don Bailey&#146;s re-election.

The time and place of the Annual Meeting have not changed. The
Annual Meeting will be held on Thursday, May&nbsp;19, 2005 at

located at 700 West Huntington Drive, Monrovia, California 91016.

Please use this opportunity to take part in the affairs of the
Company by voting on the business to come before the Annual
Meeting, including the new proposal to re-elect Don Bailey to
the Board of Directors. If you are a record holder of
STAAR&#146;s Common Stock at the close of business on
March&nbsp;31, 2005, you are eligible to vote on these matters,
either personally at the Annual Meeting or by proxy. It is
important that your shares be voted, whether or not you plan to
attend the Annual Meeting, to ensure the presence of a quorum.
Therefore, please complete, sign, date and return the
accompanying proxy in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.
Returning the proxy does NOT deprive you of your right to attend
the Annual Meeting and vote your shares in person for the
matters acted on at the Annual Meeting. We look forward to
seeing you at the Annual Meeting.

All Stockholders are cordially invited to attend the Annual
Meeting in person. Your vote is important. Please complete,
date, sign and return the accompanying proxy in the enclosed
postage-paid envelope as promptly as possible, whether or not
you plan to attend the Annual Meeting. Your promptness in
returning the proxy will assist in the expeditious and orderly
processing of the proxies and in ensuring that a quorum is
present. If you return your proxy, you may nevertheless attend
the Annual Meeting and vote your shares in person if you wish.
If you want to revoke your proxy at a later time for any reason,
you may do so in the manner described in the attached Proxy
Statement Supplement.

Any Stockholder submitting a Proxy has the power to revoke it at

Proxy by filing a written revocation, or a duly executed Proxy
bearing a later date, with the Company&#146;s Secretary at our
principal executive offices located at 1911&nbsp;Walker Avenue,
Monrovia, California 91016 prior to the commencement of the
Annual Meeting. A Stockholder may also revoke a Proxy by
attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Stockholders
whose shares are held in &#147;street name&#148; should consult
with their broker or nominee concerning the method for revoking
their Proxy.

As of the date of this Proxy Statement Supplement, the Board
knows of no business to be presented for consideration at the
Annual Meeting other than as stated in the Amended Notice of
Annual Meeting. If, however, other matters are properly brought
before the Annual Meeting, including a motion to adjourn the
Annual Meeting to another time or place in order to solicit
additional proxies in favor of the recommendations of the Board,
the Proxyholders intend to vote the shares represented by the
Proxies on such matters in accordance with the recommendation of
the Board, and the authority to do so is included in the Proxy.

<B>ELECTION OF DIRECTOR</B>

It is proposed that the Stockholders elect an additional person
to serve as a Class&nbsp;I director of the Company until the
annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2008, or until his
successor has been elected and qualified. The Board of
Directors&#146; nominee is Don M. Bailey.
</DIV>

On April&nbsp;28, 2005, to expand representation on the Board
and adopt currently recommended norms of corporate governance,
the Board added an additional seat and provided for the
separation of the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer. To accomplish this, the Board increased its
size from five to six members and elected Don Bailey to serve as
an independent director in the newly created and vacant seat,
and as Chairman of the Board. David Bailey resigned from the
position of Chairman of the Board, but continues to serve as a
director and as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company.

With the Board&#146;s election of an independent director to
serve as Chairman of the Board, the duties formerly performed by
the Company&#146;s Lead Director will be assumed by the Chairman
of the Board. Accordingly, the position of Lead Director,
formerly held by Don Duffy, has been eliminated. Mr.&nbsp;Duffy
continues to serve as director and as Chairman of the Audit
Committee.

The nominee has indicated his willingness to serve and, unless
otherwise instructed, the Proxyholders will vote the Proxies
received by them for the Board of Directors&#146; nominee. If
the nominee is unable or unwilling to serve as a director at the
time of the Annual Meeting or any continuation, postponement or
adjournment thereof, the Proxies will be voted for any other
nominee the current Board of Directors designates to fill the
vacancy. The Company has no reason to believe that the nominee
will be unable or unwilling to serve if elected as a director.
The person nominated for election as Class&nbsp;I director who
receives the highest number of affirmative votes at the Annual
Meeting will be elected.

Our Bylaws permit the Board of Directors to fix the number of
its members, so long as there are no less than three directors
and no more than seven directors. At present, the Board of
Directors consists of six members. Our Certificate of
Incorporation and our Bylaws divide the Board into three
classes, with each class to be elected for a three-year term on
a staggered basis. The classes are to be as nearly equal in size
as possible, and accordingly the holder of the new Board seat is
one of two Class&nbsp;I directors, whose terms expire at the
Annual Meeting in 2005. The directors will serve their
respective terms until re-election, or until their successors
have been elected and qualified.

Directors are elected for three-year terms and are granted
options to purchase&nbsp;60,000&nbsp;shares of our Common Stock
on their election or re-election. On his appointment to the
Board of Directors on April&nbsp;28, 2005, Don Bailey received
options to purchase&nbsp;60,000&nbsp;shares of our Common Stock
at an exercise price of $3.81. These options vest in three equal
annual installments, with the first 20,000&nbsp;shares vesting
on the date of grant. Because he was granted options on his
recent appointment to the Board of Directors, Mr.&nbsp;Bailey
will not receive an additional grant on re-election if he is
re-elected at the Annual Meeting.
