About STAAR Surgical

STAAR Surgical is a leader in the development, manufacture and marketing of minimally invasive ophthalmic products employing proprietary technologies. STAAR's products include the Visian ICL®, a tiny, flexible lens implanted to correct refractive errors, as well as innovative products designed to improve patient outcomes for cataracts and glaucoma. Manufactured in Switzerland by STAAR, the ICL is approved by the FDA for use in treating myopia, has received CE Marking and is sold in more than 50 countries.

Collamer® is the brand name for the proprietary collagen copolymer material developed by STAAR. Its name derives from the material's composition: it is a 100 percent pure collagen copolymer.

These unique features make Collamer an ideal optic material and highly suitable for an accommodative lens. STAAR's formula and processes for maki
