                            STAAR SURGICAL COMPANY
             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 April 2, 1999

1.  Basis of Presentation

    The accompanying financial statements consolidate the accounts of the
Company and its wholly and majority 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 translation gains and losses are deferred and are shown as
a separate component of stockholders' equity. During the three-months ended
April 2, 1999 and April 3, 1998, the net foreign translation loss was
$4,769 and $390,887 and net foreign currency transaction gain/(loss) was 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.  Foreign Sales

    During the three-months ended April 2, 1999 and April 3, 1998, the Company
had foreign sales primarily to Europe, South Africa, Australia and Southeast
Asia of approximately $8,513,000 and $7,642,000. Of these sales, approximately
$6,441,000 and $6,160,000 were to Europe, which has been the Company's principal
foreign market, for the quarters ended April 2, 1999 and April 3, 1998.

    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 2, 1999 and
January 1, 1999:

4.  Interim Financial Statements

    The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements 
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. The financial statements for the three-months
ended April 2, 1999 and April 3, 1998, 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 2,
1999 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 1998 consolidated financial
statements to conform with the 1999 presentation.

Revenues
- --------

      Revenues for the three-month period ended April 2, 1999 were $14.8
million, which is 4.8% greater than the $14.1 million in revenues for the three-
month period ended April 3, 1998.   The increase in revenues was attributable to
an increase in sales of the Company's refractive products, primarily the
Implantable Contact Lens(TM) , a deformable intraocular refractive corrective
lens, and the Toric(TM) intraocular lens. Additionally, increased sales of the
Company's intraocular lenses (IOL's) were partially offset by lower average
selling prices for IOL's due to competitive pressures.

Cost of Sales
- -------------
      Cost of sales increased to 38.9% of revenues for the three-months ended
April 2, 1999 from 30.4% of revenues for the three-months ended April 3, 1998.
The increase as a percentage of revenue was due to lower average selling prices
of IOLs and higher unit costs of IOLs produced in 1998 due to lower production
volume.

General & Administrative
- ------------------------

     General and administrative expense decreased slightly to 11.8% of revenues
for the three-months ended April 2, 1999 from 11.9% of revenues for the three-
months ended April 3, 1998.  While actual expense increased 3.6% over the

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
same period last year, the decrease as a percent of revenues was due to the
slightly larger change in revenues.

Marketing and Selling
- ---------------------

     Marketing and selling expense increased to 32.8 %  of revenues  for the
three-months ended  April 2, 1999 compared to 31.1% of  revenues for the three-
months ended April 3, 1998.  The increase in marketing and selling expense as a
percentage of revenues was attributable to marketing and selling expenses of the
product launch for the Toric(TM) intraocular lens and to increased domestic
commission expenses.

Research and Development
- ------------------------

     Research and development expense for the first quarter ending April 2, 1999
and April 3, 1998 was 7.2% of revenues.  Actual expense increased 4.5% over the
same period last year due to increased costs of managing clinical trials.

Other Expense, Net
- ------------------

     Other  expense, net for the quarter ended April 2, 1999 was ($130,000), or
(.9%) of revenues, as compared to ($99,000), or (.7%) of revenues, for the
quarter ended April 3, 1998.  The primary reasons for this change were increased
interest expenses, offset by decreased losses in foreign currency transactions,
and a decrease 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 2, 1999 increased to 33.4%
as compared to April 3, 1998 when it was 32%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

      Cash and cash equivalents for the quarter ended April 2, 1999 decreased by
approximately $.6 million relative to the fiscal year ended January 1, 1999.
This decrease was principally due to purchases of property and equipment and
acquisition of patents partially offset by cash provided by financing
activities.

     As of April 2, 1999, the Company had a current ratio of 3.1:1, net working
capital of $28.3 million and net equity of  $48.6 million compared to January 1,
1999 when the Company's current ratio was 2.9:1, its net working capital was
$26.9 million, and its net equity was $47.7 million.

     During the quarter, an officer of the Company exercised options for the
Company's common stock in exchange for a note in the amount of $405,625. The
note bears interest at a rate of 7%, or at the lowest applicable rate allowed by
the Internal Revenue Service. The note is secured by a stock pledge agreement
and matures on September 4, 2003.

     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.

Year 2000 Compliance
- --------------------

     The Company's management understands the importance of identifying and
addressing Year 2000 compliance issues and has placed a high priority on this
project.  Accordingly, the Company's Year 2000 efforts are guided by a special
Year 2000 Steering Committee which reports to the President of the Company.  The
Steering Committee is made up of designees from each department within the
Company and includes representatives of its foreign subsidiaries.  The Committee
meets on a regular basis to discuss the progress of each department in achieving
its Year 2000 goals and to discuss new information.

     The Company has developed a comprehensive plan for achieving Year 2000
compliance that is consistent with the five-step process prescribed by federal
regulators as follows:

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
     .    Awareness - Creating and maintaining awareness of the Company's Year
          2000 effort at all levels of the organization.
 
     .    Assessment - Determining which computers, operating systems,
          applications, machinery and equipment, and facilities are impacted and
          prioritizing the remediation effort.

     .    Renovation - Fixing any problems.

     .    Validation - Testing and certification.

     .    Implementation - Implementation of validated systems.


     The Company's principal computer hardware used by its business application
systems has been certified to be Year 2000 compliant by the vendor, Hewlett-
Packard.  The Company's principal internal operating systems are UNIX/Unidata
based.  These systems use a sequentially incremented integer to store the date
beginning with a day 1 of January 1, 1968.  Therefore, the date logic of these
systems had few Year 2000 related problems, the vendor has addressed such
problems and the Company has upgraded its systems to a Year 2000 certified
version.  The Company's principal business application software is a modified
version of one purchased from a third party.  The Company's personnel have
assessed, modified and installed the modified programs into a test environment.
Testing by the Company's information system personnel is complete, including
advancing the system date to the Year 2000, and all programs functioned as
expected.  The Company has recently successfully completed user testing of all
mission critical programs and the Year 2000 compliant programs have been
installed domestically.  These same systems and programs are used by the
majority of the Company's subsidiaries and those installations are scheduled to
be complete during the third quarter of 1999.  In general, the Company is ahead
of its schedule for this project and has met all internal milestones.  For those
subsidiaries using other systems, either those systems have been certified as
Year 2000 compliant or plans are in place to upgrade or replace with the
Company's principal system.

     In addition to reviewing its internal systems, the Company is contacting
certain suppliers, vendors, and other providers of goods and services to
determine their ability to do business in the Year 2000 and have included Year
2000 considerations in the vendor selection and certification process.  The
Company expects this process to be ongoing as companies progress with their own
Year 2000 issues.  In any event, contingency plans are being developed in the
event that the Year 2000 does impact critical suppliers or vendors.

     The Company's costs of achieving Year 2000 compliance to date have been
immaterial to financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  The
Company does not anticipate that additional amounts incurred in connection with
its Year 2000 compliance program will be material to its financial conditions or
results of operations.

     Due to the uncertainties involved, the Company cannot predict the impact of
the Year 2000 on its operations. Achieving Year 2000 compliance is dependent on
many factors, some of which are not within the Company's control, including,
without limitation, the continuity of services provided by the government,
utilities, transportation industry and other service providers.  Should one of
these systems fail, or should the Company's internal systems or the internal
systems of one or more significant vendors or suppliers fail to achieve Year
2000 compliance, the Company's business and its results of operations could be
adversely affected.
