STAAR Surgical Announces Strategic Agreement in U.S. with SharpeVision - Seite 2

Warren Foust, Chief Operating Officer of STAAR Surgical stated, “EVO ICL has demonstrated proven clinical benefits for patients in the U.S. with refractive error -3.0 diopters and above. As U.S. surgeons continue to move down the diopter curve, we believe that for patients -6.0 diopters and above, EVO ICL will increasingly become their preferred choice. We are proud to partner with SharpeVision as they make EVO ICL available to more patients.”
