STAAR Surgical Appoints Pascal Aeschlimann as Vice President of Asia Pacific

David Bailey, Chief Commercial Officer of STAAR Surgical

“Pascal has a long history with STAAR and knows what it takes to build a business in Asia from the ground up. He has seen firsthand what drives adoption: surgeon confidence, distributor trust, and local execution. Getting those things right requires presence, accountability, and a willingness to challenge the status quo, and he brings that same mindset to STAAR.”

“I am delighted to return to STAAR at such an exciting time. Asia is at an inflection point for vision correction. The market is growing, awareness is building, and we are seeing a genuine shift in how surgeons and patients think about refractive correction. Lens-based solutions are increasingly the answer for patients seeking the best outcomes, and STAAR is uniquely positioned to lead that transition. My focus will be on accelerating surgeon development, strengthening our partnerships with distributors and customers, and building the kind of local commercial capability that turns market opportunity into sustainable growth.”
