 take steps consistent with its fiduciary obligations to protect and enhance shareholder value.

It is also becoming increasingly clear that the Board’s composition
would benefit from additional shareholder perspective and membership of a director with meaningful economic interests in the Company.
I would be pleased to serve on the Board with you to provide this perspective, and I would welcome conversations with you to that end.

We remain confident in STAAR’s long-term prospects and its ability
to deliver strong revenue growth and profitability. We respectfully request that the Board allow the proposed transaction with Alcon to
be terminated in accordance with the direction already expressed by shareholders, and that STAAR move forward on a path to realize the
significant value we believe the Company is capable of achieving.

Sincerely,

Christopher M. Wang
Founder and Chief Investment Officer
Yunqi Capital Limited
