Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 97.9% of the total across 85 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 19 manufacturers reported payments, led by Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc. at 27.7% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,324, 2.5 times the $532 reported in 2019. Among optometrist clinicians in FL 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 85 payments — averaging $71.14 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
