Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $17,535 of the $19,085 with a category attached, or 91.9%. Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc. accounts for 89.9% of it on its own, with 7 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $11,494 and has fallen 96.9% since, to $357 in 2025.

How this compares
$19,085 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 773 ophthalmology providers in Illinois.
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.
