Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $25,550 of the $40,153 with a category attached, or 63.6%. Alcon accounts for 67.7% of it on its own, with 13 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $21,283, 5.5 times the $3,862 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.
Across 137 payments — averaging $293.09 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
