Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $188,500 of the $270,899 with a category attached, or 69.6%. Bausch & Lomb Americas Inc. accounts for 87.7% of it on its own, with 7 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $80,702, more than ten times the $3,067 reported in 2019. Among optometrist 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 732 payments — averaging $370.08 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
