Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $3,932 of the $4,740 with a category attached, or 82.9%. 14 manufacturers reported payments, led by Alcon at 49.4% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $2,209 and has fallen 63.1% since, to $815 in 2025. Among optometrist clinicians in NY with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 140 payments — averaging $33.86 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
