Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (55.2%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Bausch & Lomb, A Division Of Bausch Health US, LLC accounts for 80.0% of it on its own, with 18 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $171,937 and has fallen 96.6% since, to $5,918 in 2025. Among optometrist clinicians in NY 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 505 payments — averaging $599.96 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
