STAAR Surgical Co
In the early throes of medical innovation, STAAR Surgical Co. carved a niche within the ophthalmic industry, where its focus on implantable lenses set it apart from many contemporaries. Based in Monrovia, California, the company began its journey by enhancing an integral component of human life: vision. Through the skillful development and manufacture of implantable collamer lenses (ICLs), STAAR Surgical has thrived by providing solutions for those seeking alternatives to laser-based surgeries. Its ICL technology directly targets issues like myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism, offering patients a reversible, less invasive option than traditional corrective procedures.
STAAR Surgical's business model hinges on a blend of specialized technology and strategic market penetration. The company primarily generates revenue by selling its suite of implantable lenses to healthcare providers and clinics worldwide, capitalizing on the rising trend of elective vision correction procedures. With its innovation-driven credo, STAAR continually invests in R&D to enhance its product offerings, ensuring it remains at the forefront of eye-care technology. By targeting emerging markets and expanding its global footprint, particularly in regions with growing demand for premium vision solutions, STAAR has positioned its unique value proposition to capitalize on both technological advancements and changing patient preferences. Through this deliberate strategy, STAAR not only bolsters its revenue streams but also fortifies its presence as a key player in the ophthalmic landscape.

Sales Decline: STAAR Surgical reported Q1 2025 net sales of $42.6 million, down from $77.4 million last year, mainly due to minimal purchases by China distributors as they worked through inventory.
China Channel Inventory: China Q1 sales were only $389,000 versus $38.5 million last year, but in-market procedures remained stable or higher, and normalized sales are expected to resume in Q3.
Cost Reductions: The company implemented restructuring and cost-cutting, targeting an SG&A run rate of about $225 million by year-end, mainly by reducing underutilized facilities and personnel.
Tariff Mitigation: STAAR quickly shipped consignment inventory to China to avoid tariffs and plans to shift manufacturing to Switzerland to further mitigate tariff risks.
Margin Pressure: Gross margin dropped to 65.8% from 78.9% last year due to lower production and ramping Swiss operations, with a target of 70% for the second half and 75–80% longer term.
Withdrawn Guidance: Management withdrew formal guidance due to global uncertainty but expressed confidence in returning to growth in the second half of 2025, with cost savings and China recovery underpinning optimism.
