Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (48.7%), food and beverage and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc. accounts for 63.2% of it on its own, with 17 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $18,645 and has fallen 87.2% since, to $2,384 in 2025. Among ophthalmology clinicians in IN 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.
Across 121 payments — averaging $280.21 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
