<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0.5in; text-align: justify">&ldquo;Alcon&rsquo;s results today, including
the continuing weakness of its implantables business, demonstrate why Alcon needs STAAR far more than STAAR needs Alcon, and why Alcon
has been pursuing STAAR so aggressively for more than 19 months. Alcon&rsquo;s recent public pessimism about STAAR is simply a transparent
strategy to deter other bidders and enable Alcon to buy STAAR on the cheap.&rdquo;</P>
