Oct 23 (Reuters) - Staar Surgical STAA.O has adjourned its shareholder vote on Swiss eyecare giant Alcon's ALCC.S $1.5 billion takeover offer until November 6, the company said on Thursday. The delay comes amid opposing campaigns between Staar's board and key investors, led by Broadwood Partners which owns 27.5%. Opposing shareholders argue that the deal undervalues the business and reflects a flawed sale process. (Reporting by Maria Rugamer; Editing by Matt Scuffham) ((maria.rugamer@thomsonreuters.com;))
