                             STAAR SURGICAL COMPANY
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 APRIL 3, 1998

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 three-months ended April 3, 1998 and April 4, 1997, the net foreign
translation (loss)/gain was ($390,887) and $4,366 and net foreign currency
transaction gain/(loss) was $29,286  and ($100,000).  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 three-months ended April 3, 1998 and  April 4, 1997, the Company
had export sales primarily to Europe, South Africa, Australia and Southeast Asia
of approximately $7,642,000 and $3,023,000. Of these sales, approximately
$6,160,000 and $2,045,000 were to Europe, which is the Company's principal
foreign market, for the quarters ended April 3, 1998 and April 4, 1997.

  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 April 3, 1998 and
January 2, 1998:

4.  INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  The financial statements for the three-months ended April 3, 1998 and April 4,
1997 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 three-months ended April 3,
1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other
interim period or the entire year.

5.  RECLASSIFICATIONS

  Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 consolidated financial
statements to conform with the 1998 presentation.

6.  BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

  On January 5, 1998, the Company acquired a 60% interest in a foreign
distributor of ophthalmic products.  Total consideration for the acquisition of
the majority interest was approximately $4.6 million and resulted in the
recording of goodwill of approximately $4.1 million.  The distributor had 1997
sales of approximately $15 million.  The results of operations of the
distributor are not material  as compared to the Company's results of
operations.

REVENUES
- --------

      Revenues for the three-month period ended April 3, 1998 were $14.1
million, which is 33.6% greater than the $10.6 million in revenues for the
three-month period ended April 4, 1997.   The increase in revenues was
attributable to an increase in international sales of $4.2 million from foreign
distributors acquired or formed during the past year and continued increasing
international sales of the Company's new products, primarily the Implantable
Contact Lens, a deformable intraocular refractive corrective lens, and the
Glaucoma Wick.  These increases were partially offset by lower sales of the
Company's intraocular lenses (IOL's) and lower average selling prices for IOL's
due to competitive pressures.  Additionally, during the first quarter of 1998,
the Company recorded $192,000 less royalty revenue as compared to the same
period of 1997.

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

      Cost of sales increased to 30.4%  of revenues for the three-months ended
April 3, 1998 from 23.3% of revenues for the three-months ended April 4, 1997.
The increase as a percentage of revenue was due to revenue from the new foreign
distributors, having cost of sales as of percentage of sales that are typical
for a distribution company.  As the distributors product mix changes to include
more product manufactured by the Company, the Company expects cost of sales as a
percentage of sales to decline.  Without the effect of the new distributors,
cost of sales as percentage of revenue for the first quarter of 1998 was in line
with the first quarter of 1997 due to continuing manufacturing efficiencies,
despite lower average selling prices of the Company's IOL's.

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

      General and administrative expense decreased to 11.9% of  revenues  for
the three-months ended April 3, 1998 from 14.4% of revenues for the three-months
ended April 4, 1997.  The decline in general and administrative expense as a
percentage of revenues was attributable to the significant increase in revenues
permitting greater absorption of general and administrative costs.  The increase
in general and administrative expense in dollar terms was attributable to
additional administrative infrastructure expenditures required to support the
increase in revenues.

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

      Marketing and selling expense increased to 31.1% of revenues  for the
three-months ended  April 3, 1998 compared to 27.2% of  revenues for the three-
months ended April 4, 1997.  The increase in marketing and selling expense as a
percentage of revenues was attributable to marketing and selling expenses of the
new foreign distributors.

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

      Research and development expense decreased to 7.2% of revenues for the
first quarter ending April 3, 1998, compared to 9.4% of revenues for the first
quarter ending April 4, 1997.  While actual spending was consistent with the
same period in prior year, the decline as a percent of revenues was due to the
significant increase in revenues.

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

      Other income (expense) for the quarter ended April 3, 1998 was ($99,000),
or (.7)% of revenues, as compared to ($132,000), or (1.3%) of revenues, for the
quarter ended April 4, 1997.  The primary reasons for this change were increased
interest expenses, offset by decreased losses in foreign currency transactions,
and an increase in earnings related to the Company's joint venture with Canon
STAAR.

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

    The Company's effective income tax rate at April 3, 1998 and April 4, 1997
was 32%.

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

      Cash and cash equivalents for the quarter ended April 3, 1998 decreased by
approximately $2.7 million relative to the fiscal year ended January 2, 1998.
This decrease was principally due to payments made by the Company on its  line-
of-credit resulting in a corresponding decrease to that facility.

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

      Goodwill and accounts payable increased significantly with the addition of
a foreign distributor during the quarter.

      As of April 3, 1998, the Company had a current ratio of 2.5:1, net working
capital of $21.4 million and net equity of $46.2 million compared to January 2,
1998 when the Company's current ratio was 3.4:1, its net working capital was
$24.9 million, and its net equity was $44.8 million.

      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.
