Source FEC.gov. PAC spending and unitemized gifts are outside the cell. The all-committee Ophthalmologist total remains $4,566,702.

Is this an ophthalmology association treasury gift?

The grouping is a medical-specialty occupation/employer string, not a board-certification roll, not a verified roster. 2,264 itemized lines produced $371,965 at C00171504. Ascrs membership dues, an optometrist bucket, or ophthalmologist as a clinic treasury. Cite FEC.gov for the underlying receipts.

What share of Ophthalmologist FEC money went to EYEPAC?

C00171504 holds $371,965 of the $4,566,702 stored for Ophthalmologist, roughly 8.1%. The leftover $4,194,737 is other recipients on the Ophthalmologist hub, not this join. FEC.gov is the source for $371,965, 2,264 contributions, and committee C00171504 in the Ophthalmologist × EYEPAC cell. The all-committee grouping total stored for this string is $4,566,702.

Why does this join list 2,264 contributions?

Line count 2,264 and dollars $371,965 should be cited together. Omitting volume hides whether $164 is a small-dollar mean or a large-line mean. Unique donors are unpublished here. FEC.gov is the source for $371,965, 2,264 contributions, and committee C00171504 in the Ophthalmologist × EYEPAC cell. The all-committee grouping total stored for this string is $4,566,702.

Ophthalmologist contributions received by EYEPAC

Filers whose employer field grouped to OPHTHALMOLOGIST sent $371,965 in itemized gifts to EYEPAC POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE FOR AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CATARACT AND REFRACTIVE SURGERY (C00171504) across 2,264 contribution lines. Ophthalmologist as stored text totals $4,566,702 on every committee in this table; 8.1% of that book sits here. FEC.gov is the source. Independent expenditures stay outside $371,965.

Key figures

EYEPAC received $371,965 from Ophthalmologist-coded individual contributions across 2,264 itemized gifts.
The Ophthalmologist grouping totals $4,566,702, so this committee accounts for about 8.1% of that labeled money.
2,264 lines average about $164 each; that mean is arithmetic on the packet, not a typical gift.
OPHTHALMOLOGIST is FEC stored text (a medical-specialty occupation/employer string, not a board-certification roll), not a unique-donor census.
Figures are FEC itemized individual contributions, not independent expenditures or USAspending awards.

The Ophthalmologist × EYEPAC overlap

LobbyVault stores employer/industry strings separately from committees. Crossing them for Ophthalmologist and EYEPAC yields $371,965. That is 2,264 itemized lines. The figure is not a committee disbursement and not a company political budget.

Keep $4,566,702 on the Ophthalmologist hub and keep C00171504 for receipts from every employer. Only the overlap is $371,965. About 8.1% of the grouping sits here; $4,194,737 (91.9%) does not.

Because the grouping is a medical-specialty occupation/employer string, not a board-certification roll, the cell is a text match. Household members and former workers can reuse a workplace or title. The Commission does not audit those claims on this aggregate.

Ophthalmologist is job-like form text

On FEC Form 3, employer and occupation are typed fields. OPHTHALMOLOGIST survived grouping as Ophthalmologist. That is not a Dunn-style firm ID and not a donor page. People who typed a longer legal name sit elsewhere.

For a job string, the usual error is treating $4,566,702 as a company political budget. $4,566,702 is summed itemized individual receipts that matched this text. $371,965 is the slice that also matched C00171504. The 8.1% ratio is $371,965 divided by $4,566,702. Other committee joins for OPHTHALMOLOGIST are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $4,194,737. Citing EYEPAC as if it were the Ophthalmologist lifetime total would overstate this cell by $4,194,737.

What C00171504 holds besides this cell

The committee hub still contains every other employer string. This tie keeps Ophthalmologist on. Without an all-employer committee total in the facts, $371,965 cannot be turned into a percent of EYEPAC national receipts.

8.1% remains a share of the Ophthalmologist grouping ($4,566,702), not a share of C00171504. Mixing those denominators is the usual citation error. A mean of $164 per itemized line can hide a few large receipts. The packet supplies no median and no unique-donor count. 2,264 contributions remain a line count, not a headcount.

Where $4,194,737 still sits

After this cell of $371,965, $4,194,737 of the Ophthalmologist grouping remains on other committees. That remainder is 91.9% of $4,566,702. The EYEPAC page is not empty of other employers; this file simply does not add them.

Percentages here use packet facts only. No committee-wide denominator is supplied, so no “share of EYEPAC” claim is possible. 8.1% is Ophthalmologist-internal. Ophthalmologist as a medical-specialty occupation/employer string, not a board-certification roll can appear in contracting databases under similar names. Those obligation tables are not this $371,965. The join does not claim a payment trail from campaign gifts to federal awards or the reverse.

Form text is not a payroll file

FEC employer fields are typed by filers. OPHTHALMOLOGIST is stored as written for this grouping. The Commission does not verify employment, professional licenses, or corporate identity on this aggregate. Ophthalmologist here is a medical-specialty occupation/employer string, not a board-certification roll.

PAC filings, independent expenditures, and unitemized gifts are other tables. USAspending obligations are another database entirely. $371,965 does not fund federal awards, and federal awards do not explain $371,965. Quote both keys: Ophthalmologist and EYEPAC. Quote the dollars: $371,965. Quote the volume: 2,264 contributions. Quote the source: FEC.gov. Leave NAICS codes and named donors out.

A citation template for this join

Suggested citation: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates, employer/industry grouping OPHTHALMOLOGIST, recipient committee EYEPAC POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE FOR AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CATARACT AND REFRACTIVE SURGERY (C00171504), $371,965, 2,264 contributions (8.1% of $4,566,702 stored for the string).

Do not append NAICS codes, USAspending dollars, or named donors. Those facts are not in the packet. If a later overlay revises $371,965, the overlay controls. Unitemized individual gifts never enter $371,965. Independent expenditures and PAC disbursements are other FEC tables. Sharing a company-like string does not merge those ledgers with C00171504. Restating the join without new numbers: Ophthalmologist at EYEPAC is $371,965 from 2,264 itemized individual contributions on FEC.gov. The same string stores $4,566,702 across committees, so this recipient is about 8.1% and other committees hold $4,194,737 (91.9%). The grouping is a medical-specialty occupation/employer string, not a board-certification roll, not ASCRS membership dues, an optometrist bucket, or Ophthalmologist as a clinic treasury. No donor names, unique-donor count, party split, or USAspending dollars are in this packet. Live overlay pages override this snapshot. Mean gift size is about $164. That mean is arithmetic, not a median. Independent expenditures remain outside $371,965.
