Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — royalties or licence payments (58.2%), consulting fees and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 28 manufacturers reported payments, led by Bausch & Lomb Americas Inc. at 34.3% of the total. Among ophthalmology clinicians in MN 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.
