What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $83,125 of the $112,231 with a category attached, or 74.1%. Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc. accounts for 98.9% of it on its own, with 8 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $54,281, more than ten times the $237 reported in 2019. Among optometrist clinicians in OH with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
