Householding of Special Meeting Materials

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements with
respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience
for stockholders and cost savings for companies. STAAR and some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy statement to multiple stockholders sharing an address, unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected
stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker or STAAR that they or STAAR will be sending householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any
time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, or if you are receiving multiple copies of the proxy statement and wish to receive only one, please notify your broker if your shares of
STAAR common stock are held in a brokerage account or STAAR if you hold registered shares. You can notify STAAR by sending a request to Corporate Secretary, STAAR Surgical Company, 25510 Commercentre Drive, Lake Forest, CA 92630, or by calling
Broadridge at (866) 540-7095 or sending a written request by mail to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717.
