| A: | No, STAAR’s Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting for the election of directors. This means you have one vote for each share entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting for each of the six seats subject to election.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |

 A: | What can I do if I change my mind after I submit a proxy to vote my shares?

 •By delivering a written notice to STAAR’s Corporate Secretary at any time before your proxy is voted at the Annual Meeting revoking your proxy. Such notices should be mailed to the following address: Office of the Corporate Secretary, STAAR Surgical Company, 25510 Commercentre Drive, Lake Forest, California, 92630.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
 •By attending the Annual Meeting and voting electronically during the Annual Meeting.  For information about voting during the Annual Meeting, please refer to the answer under the question “How can I vote during the Annual Meeting?”  Simply attending the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.
