MONROVIA, Calif., April 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- STAAR Surgical Company (Nasdaq: STAA), a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of minimally invasive ophthalmic products, today announced very strong participation in the first of its nine-part webinar series on the Company's Visian ICL(TM) (Implantable Collamer Lens). The first session which aired Tuesday, April 22, 2008, titled "How My Website Compels Patients to Call Me," is part of a new marketing initiative designed to help refractive physicians build their Visian ICL practices. Over 450 physicians and more than 250 practice administrators registered for the ICL Growth Program.

The ICL Growth Program, developed in collaboration with Dr. Brian Boxer Wachler, focuses on the key elements required to build a successful Visian ICL practice. Dr. Boxer Wachler has developed a thriving Visian ICL practice and was recently featured on the NBC News Today show performing bilateral implants of the Visian ICL in his office suite. In addition, the work of other Visian ICL surgeons has been featured on numerous shows recently, including Dr. Steven Chang on ABC News in San Francisco, Dr. Konrad Filutowski on Fox News in Orlando and Dr. William Goldstein on Fox News in Detroit, while Dr. Paul Dougherty will be featured on an episode of the "Modern Beauty Show" airing on the Style Channel in three parts this month.

"We are pleased and excited that so many physicians and practice administrators took advantage of this program," said Barry G. Caldwell, President and CEO of STAAR. "Our ICL Growth Program is designed to help interested surgeons capitalize on the growing consumer awareness of the Visian ICL's benefits and complements our recent growth curve in the U.S. market.
