Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (58.9%), travel and lodging and gifts — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Alcon accounts for 65.1% of it on its own, with 15 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $2,023 and has fallen 78.8% since, to $430 in 2025. Among optometrist clinicians in AL 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 67 payments — averaging $73.65 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$4,935 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 749 optometrist providers in Alabama.
Medicare billing
What this is not: this is the amount Original Medicare Part B allowed for services this provider billed in 2024. It is not their income. It excludes Medicare Advantage — now more than half of all Medicare enrollment — along with Medicaid and all commercial insurance, and it is gross practice revenue before staff, rent, supplies and malpractice premiums. CMS also suppresses any figure covering ten or fewer patients, so low-volume providers appear smaller than they are.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |

| Tobramycin-DexamethasoneTobramycin/Dexamethasone | 14 | $721 |
| Latanoprost | 25 | $543 |
| Dorzolamide-TimololDorzolamide Hcl/Timolol Maleat | 13 | $226 |
