Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — ownership interests (43.2%), royalties or licence payments and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Glaukos Corporation accounts for 99.9% of it on its own, with 4 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among ophthalmology clinicians in CA 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 49 payments — averaging $31,076 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
