Staar Surgical opens expanded Experience Center for ophthalmic professionals

STAAR Surgical Company announces the expansion and new location of the STAAR Surgical Experience Center. Located at STAAR’s headquarters in Lake Forest, California, near John Wayne Airport SNA , the center serves as a dynamic hub for comprehensive, hands-on training and education in lens-based vision correction. The new Experience Center is a critical addition to customer training, education and support as the demand for EVO ICL continues to surge among surgeons and refractive practices, driven by the escalating global myopia epidemic. The prevalence of myopia in Americans is 42%3, having doubled over the past three decades3, while laser refractive procedure volume is declining. EVO ICL is rapidly disrupting the refractive market. STAAR Surgical is on track to sell more ICLs between 2024 and 2026 than in the first 25 years of ICL sales combined, reflecting the transformative impact of this technology following FDA approval and market launch. “We are thrilled to open our expanded Experience Center, offering cutting-edge resources and training for ophthalmic professionals,” said Tom Frinzi, President and CEO of STAAR Surgical. “The center reflects our commitment to supporting the growing demand for EVO ICL and advancing its global adoption.”
