Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $833,418 of the $1,362,273 with a category attached, or 61.2%. AbbVie accounts for 65.1% of it on its own, with 3 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $489,969 and has fallen 92.9% since, to $34,765 in 2025. Among ophthalmology clinicians in MD 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.

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
