STAA Stock and Options Trade Setup — STAAR Surgical
Nasdaq · Health Care · Limited options liquidity; wide spreads expected · Small cap · ~$1.8B
STAA occupies a premium niche in refractive surgery through its EVO ICL product, which addresses patients unsuitable for LASIK including those with thin corneas or high myopia. The global myopia epidemic — particularly in Asia — provides a structural long-term growth driver as younger populations increasingly seek permanent vision correction. China and South Korea represent high-growth markets where STAA has established regulatory approvals and growing surgeon adoption. As procedure volumes recover post-pandemic and surgeon training programs expand, STAA's implantable lens revenue should grow meaningfully. The company's clinical differentiation on lens reversibility and biocompatibility supports premium pricing.

STAA Options Setup — Frequently Asked Questions
Is STAA a good options trade today?+
STAAR Surgical (STAA) currently has an Amora Edge Score of 64/100, ranking it top 40%. This composite score is built from four sub-signals — EMA cross, RSI zone, relative strength vs SPY, and volume surge — each scored 0–25. The current read is a watchlist setup, so the algorithm is positioned bullish (calls / call debit spreads). A score above 65 typically warrants a trade card with stop and target; below that, the setup is on the watchlist but not actionable.
What is STAA's win rate on Stoptions.ai setups?+
STAA's historical win rate on closed Stoptions setups is 60%. Win rate is calculated as the percentage of past STAA trade cards that hit their target price before stopping out. Win rate is most meaningful once a ticker has 10+ closed trades — individual ticker rates can be noisy at smaller samples. Our portfolio-wide win rate across all closed trades is the more stable benchmark.
What strike and expiry does Stoptions.ai suggest for STAA?+
The strike and expiry are shown on the trade card at the top of this page when the setup is active. Stoptions.ai algorithmically selects strikes targeting delta 0.35–0.45 and expirations 30–45 days out, adjusted for current implied volatility rank (IVR). When IVR is high, the system favors call debit spreads to limit vega risk; when IVR is low, single-leg long calls are preferred. The card includes the contract symbol, mid-price entry, stop, and target.
How often is the STAA setup updated?+
Every 72 hours we refresh STAA's Amora Edge Score and trade card. The underlying scan runs daily at 9:00 AM ET (pre-market) and 9:30 AM ET (post-open), so any new signal change is reflected within one trading session. If STAA drops below the entry threshold or the regime shifts (e.g., SPY enters a confirmed bear), the trade card is replaced with a "no setup" notice automatically.
What does the Amora Edge Score measure for STAA?+
The Amora Edge Score is a 0–100 composite of four technical sub-signals applied to STAA: (1) EMA cross — is the 20-day above the 50-day with both trending up? (2) RSI zone — is momentum in the 50–70 sweet spot, or extended/weak? (3) Relative strength vs SPY — is STAA outperforming the market over 20 sessions? (4) Volume surge — is participation above the 20-day average? Each sub-signal contributes 0–25 points. STAA currently scores 64.
How does STAA compare to other Health Care setups?+
STAA's sector rank and percentile against other Health Care tickers we track is shown on the /tickers index — sortable by Amora Edge Score, win rate, or sector. For direct comparison, see the "Related Health Care Options Setups" panel above. When multiple tickers in the same sector are scoring 80+, the algorithm flags the cluster as a sector rotation signal and may upweight position sizing.
