STAAR Surgical designs, develops, manufactures, and sells implantable lenses for the eye and delivery systems used to deliver the lenses into the eye. Co.'s products are implantable Collamer lenses (ICLs) used in refractive surgery and intraocular lenses (IOLs) used in cataract surgery. ICLs, consisting of Co.'s ICL family of products, including the Toric implantable Collamer lenses and EVO+ Visian ICL, are intraocular lenses used to correct refractive conditions such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. IOLs are prosthetic intraocular lenses used to restore vision that has been affected by cataracts, and include Co.'s lines of silicone IOLs and the Preloaded Injector. The STAA YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the STAA YTD return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the total return for a given investment year-to-date for the current calendar year
(up to the end of prior trading session). Arguably, choosing the current calendar year for a measurement
period is on the one hand completely arbitrary, but on the other hand a year-to-date look can be extremely
useful in the context of our country's tax system which taxes gains and income on a calendar year basis.
Thus, researching Year-To-Date Returns is good practice for investors — whether STAA YTD return or other benchmarks/peers
— and when doing so it is also important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's YTD return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon. Our website aims to empower investors
by performing the STAA YTD return calculation (with any dividends reinvested as applicable), and to provide a
coverage universe of many stocks and ETFs to be able to compare YTD returns.
