                            STAAR SURGICAL COMPANY
             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 JULY 4, 1997

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying financial statements consolidate the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Assets and liabilities
of foreign subsidiaries are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the
close of the period. Revenues and expenses are translated at the weighted
average of exchange rates in effect during the period. The resulting gains and
losses are deferred and are shown as a separate component of stockholders'
equity. During the six-months ended July 4, 1997 and June 28, 1996, foreign
currency transaction gains and losses were not material. Investments in
affiliates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of
accounting.

     Each of the Company's reporting periods ends on the Friday nearest to the
quarter ending date.

2.  EXPORT SALES

     During the six-months ended July 4, 1997 and June 28, 1996, the Company had
export sales primarily to Europe and South Africa, Australia and Southeast Asia,
of approximately $6,985,000 and $5,706,000.  Of these sales, approximately
$4,209,000 and $3,547,000 were to Europe, which is the Company's principal
foreign market, for the six-months ended July 4, 1997 and June 28, 1996.

     The Company sells its products internationally.  International transactions
subject the Company to several potential risks, including fluctuating exchange
rates (to the extent the Company's transactions are not in U.S. dollars),
regulation of fund transfers by foreign governments, United States and foreign
export and import duties and tariffs and possible political instability.

3.  INVENTORIES

     Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market
(net realizable value) and consisted of the following at July 4, 1997 and
January 3, 1997.

4.  LONG-TERM DEBT

     In June 1997, the Company renegotiated its line of credit with its current
lender.  Under the new agreement, the Company may borrow up to $10,000,000 on a
revolving basis, at a rate of interest not to exceed the prime interest rate
less .25%.  The loan agreement requires the Company to satisfy certain financial
tests and limits the amount of other indebtedness the Company my incur.  The
line of credit expires June 1999.  Borrowings are uncollateralized.  The
refinance of the line of credit resulted in a reclassification of $4.2 million
of debt from short-term to long-term.

5.  INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The financial statements for the six-months ended July 4, 1997 and June 28,
1996 are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for this
interim period.  The results of operations for the six-months ended July 4, 1997
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other
interim period or the entire year.

6.  RECLASSIFICATIONS

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 consolidated financial
statements to conform with the 1997 presentation.

7.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     On March 3, 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share (SFAS 128). This pronouncement provides a
different method of calculating earnings per share than is currently used in
accordance with APB 15, Earnings per Share. SFAS 128 provides for the
calculation of Basic and Diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share
includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities
that could share in the earnings of an entity, similar to fully diluted earnings
per share. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods
ending after December 15, 1997; early adoption is not permitted. The Company has
not determined the effect, if any, of adoption on its EPS computation(s).

</TABLE> 
REVENUES:
- --------

Revenues for the six-month period ended July 4, 1997 were $22.1 million, which
is 11.5% greater than the $19.9 million in revenues for the six-month period
ended June 28, 1996.  The increase in revenues was attributable to (i) a 22.4%
rise in international sales reflecting increased demand for the Company's
foldable IOL's and the commercialization of the Company's new Glaucoma Wick and
implantable contact lens ("ICL") in selected foreign countries, and (ii) a 7.5%
increase in sales within the United States due to a 11.3% increase in unit
volume of foldable IOL's (primarily the ELASTIMIDE(TM) model), partially offset
by a 5.4% general price decrease primarily due to a decrease in prices charged
to certain large volume customers.

During the quarter, a foreign subsidiary of the Company recognized the remaining
portion of deferred revenue related to the sale of certain licenses.

COST OF SALES:
- ------------- 

Cost of sales decreased to 23.3%  of revenues for the six-months ended July 4,
1997 from 23.8% of revenues for the six-months ended June 28, 1996.  The
principal reasons for this decline were increased operating efficiencies and
economies of scale from increased sales volume.  These savings were offset by
price decreases  and a product mix change due to an increased demand for the
ELASTIMIDE(TM) IOL, which is relatively more expensive to manufacture.

GENERAL & ADMINISTRATIVE:
- ------------------------ 

General and administrative expense increased to 14.1% of  revenues  for the six-
months ended July 4, 1997 from 13.8% of revenues for the six-months ended June
28, 1996.   The increase in general and administrative expense was attributable
to additional administrative infrastructure expenditures required to support the
increase in revenues.

MARKETING AND SELLING:
- --------------------- 

Marketing and selling expense decreased to 28.0% of revenues  for the six-months
ended  July 4, 1997 compared to 29.9% of  revenues for the six-months ended June
28, 1996.  The decline in marketing and selling expense as a percentage of
revenues was attributable to the significant growth in overall revenues
permitting greater absorption of fixed marketing and selling (i.e., non-
commission) costs.  The increase in marketing and selling  expense in dollar
terms was principally attributable to greater commissions paid arising from
increased sales revenues.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT:
- ------------------------ 

Research and development expense decreased to 9.3% of revenues for the six-
months ending July 4, 1997 compared to 9.8% of revenues for the six-months
ending June 28, 1996.   The Company plans to continue to spend approximately 10%
of revenues on research and development activities.

OTHER INCOME, (EXPENSE) NET:
- --------------------------- 

Other income (expense) for the six-months ended July 4, 1997 was ($149,000), or
(0.7%) of revenues, as compared to $196,000, or 1.0% of revenues, for the six-
months ended June 28, 1996.  The primary reasons for this decrease were
increased interest expenses, losses in translating foreign currency, and a
decline in earnings related to the Company's joint venture with Canon STAAR.

INCOME TAX PROVISION (INCOME TAXES)
- -----------------------------------

The effective income tax rate was 32.2 percent for the six-months ended July 4,
1997 compared to 31.3 percent in the same period last year.  The Company's
effective income tax rate is lower than the federal statutory rate because the
undistributed  earnings of foreign subsidiaries are not subject to United States
federal or state income taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

Cash and cash equivalents for the quarter ended July 4, 1997 decreased by
approximately $2.5 million relative to the fiscal year ended January 3, 1997.
This decrease was principally due to payments made by the Company on its notes
payable and line-of-credit resulting in a corresponding decrease to those
facilities.

The Company increased its inventories, primarily internationally, to support the
rollout of new products.

In June 1997, the Company renegotiated its line of credit with its current
lender.  Under the new agreement, the Company may borrow up to $10,000,000 on a
revolving basis, at a rate of interest not to exceed the prime interest rate
less .25%.

The loan agreement requires the Company to satisfy certain financial tests and
limits the amount of other indebtedness the Company may incur.  The line of
credit expires June 1999.  Borrowings are uncollateralized.

As of July 4, 1997, the Company had a current ratio of 3.8:1, net working
capital of $20.8 million and net equity of $40.8 million compared to January 3,
1997 when the Company's current ratio was 2.1:1, its net working capital was
$15.0 million, and its net equity was $36.6 million.

The improvement in the Company's current ratio and net working capital is due to
the renegotiation of the line of credit from a one-year to a two-year note
resulting in a reclassification of notes payable from short-term to long-term.

During the quarter, the Company eliminated its deficit position and recorded
retained earnings.

The Company expects to continue to be profitable in the future and the Company
believes that all future cash flow needs will come from cash generated by
operations or additional financing, if required.

OTHER INFORMATION
- -----------------

During the quarter, the Company acquired a distributor of ophthalmic products in
Europe.

Subsequent to the quarter ended July 4, 1997, the Company was granted the
European "CE Mark" of approval on its toric intraocular lens (IOL); the
implantable contact lens ("ICL"(TM)); the "Glaucoma Wick" implant; and
StaarVisc(TM), a viscoelastic solution.

Also subsequent to the quarter ended July 4, 1997, the Company completed Phase I
clinical trials for the ICL(TM) and received Food and Drug Administration
release to begin Phase II of its clinical trials.
