STAAR Surgical Company designs, develops, manufactures, and markets implantable lenses for the eye, primarily its proprietary EVO Visian Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) for vision correction. The company holds a leadership position in the premium refractive vision correction market due to its unique, patented ICL technology offering superior visual outcomes for suitable patients. It benefits from high barriers to entry in ophthalmology and growing market acceptance of its advanced lens solutions.
