Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by consulting fees: $9,540 of the $12,869 with a category attached, or 74.1%. Alcon accounts for 91.0% of it on its own, with 5 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $7,342 and has fallen 95.4% since, to $339 in 2025. 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.
