Description: STAA STAAR Surgical January 16, 2026

STAAR Surgical (NASDAQ:STAA) designs, manufactures, and markets implantable Collamer lenses (ICLs) and associated delivery systems, as well as laser-based refractive procedures such as LASIK, to correct myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Its customers are primarily ophthalmologists and eye-care facilities, and the firm reaches them through a direct sales force in the U.S., Japan, Germany, Spain, Canada, the U.K., and Singapore, complemented by distributors in China, Korea, India, and other European markets.

Key recent metrics: for Q2 2024 the company reported revenue of roughly $210 million, a 12 % year-over-year increase driven largely by a surge in ICL sales, which now account for about 80 % of total revenue; the ICL order backlog stood at approximately $300 million, indicating strong forward demand. The primary macro drivers are the rising global prevalence of myopia-particularly among younger populations in East Asia-and an aging demographic that fuels demand for presbyopia-correcting solutions. Within the broader health-care supplies sector, refractive-surgery volumes are expanding at an estimated 6 % compound annual growth rate, outpacing the relatively flat cataract-surgery market.
