Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (58.1%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 12 manufacturers reported payments, led by Coopervision Inc. at 53.4% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $4,115 and has fallen 72.0% since, to $1,152 in 2025. Among corneal and contact management clinicians in CA 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 172 payments — averaging $72.92 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
