Oct 15 (Reuters) - Proxy advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services on Wednesday recommended that investors in eye-care company STAAR Surgical vote against a planned deal with Alcon AG, arguing that pushback from big shareholders and other “deficiencies” speak against the proposed takeover.STAAR’s biggest investor Broadwood, which holds nearly 30% of the stock, has said it will vote against the proposal that the company will sell itself to Alcon for $28 a share. The vote is on October 23.
