expand during the fourth quarter, and all signs currently point to this momentum continuing into 2019,&rdquo; said Caren Mason,
President and CEO. &ldquo;China led the way with ICL unit growth of approximately 99% in the fourth quarter, sequentially consistent
with the growth we reported for the third quarter of 2018. As we planned, STAAR Surgical&rsquo;s business in the U.S. also returned
to growth. We began the staged rollout of the Toric ICL in the U.S. to certified surgeons in late October leading to approximately
16% growth for the ICL in the U.S., compared to the prior year period, in the world&rsquo;s second largest refractive surgery market.&rdquo;</P>

2018 financial results on or about February 21, 2019 and provided today&rsquo;s information due to investor meetings taking place

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">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. STAAR&rsquo;s lens
used in refractive surgery is called an Implantable Collamer&reg; Lens or &ldquo;ICL&rdquo;, which includes the EVO Visian ICL&trade;
product line. More than 900,000 Visian ICLs have been implanted to date. To learn more about the ICL go to: <U>www.discovericl.com</U>.
STAAR has approximately 400 full-time equivalent employees and markets lenses in over 75 countries. Headquartered in Monrovia,
CA, the company operates manufacturing facilities in Aliso Viejo, CA and Monrovia, CA. For more information, please visit the
Company&rsquo;s website at www.staar.com.</P>
