ating leverage, and considerable free cash flow.

Our industry sources in Asia, Europe, and the
Western Hemisphere have confirmed this outlook and have provided us with considerable input on how the business can be improved further.
We have received business plans and other recommendations for how STAAR can be improved quickly and become even more successful over time.
And a range of ophthalmology industry executives, some quite prominent, have reached out to us, indicating that they would love to help
lead STAAR into the future because the Company’s opportunity is so clear, and its valuation is so low.

The advantages of STAAR’s technology provide
an opportunity for the refractive surgery market to continue its longstanding trend of steadily shifting from laser tissue removal to
its lens-based future. As you know, one of the most prominent refractive surgeons in the world stated at a recent medical conference that
he believes that STAAR’s technology will become the standard of care in refractive surgery in the next five years. One does not
need to be anywhere near that optimistic to recognize the very large business and shareholder value opportunity ahead, if STAAR is well
run and rebuilds credibility with shareholders.

STAAR’s future is bright, so it should be
allowed to shine. We are eager to work with you and other shareholders as soon as possible. We have never sought control of STAAR, nor
are we doing so now. A collaborative approach, with a sense of urgency, is what is needed.

The special meeting is scheduled for Friday. We
hope we will hear from you on Friday or Saturday, so that we can work together to implement needed changes in a manner that ensures the
continued success of the business, and the confidence of all shareholders.

Sincerely,

Neal Bradsher
