Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $5,524 of the $8,931 with a category attached, or 61.8%. 21 manufacturers reported payments, led by Rxsight Inc at 41.7% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $6,257 and has fallen 95.2% since, to $300 in 2025. Among optometrist clinicians in GA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 130 payments — averaging $68.70 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.

Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
Companies that both paid and supply prescribed drugs
These companies both reported payments to this provider and make drugs the provider prescribed under Medicare Part D in 2024. For most specialties this overlap is expected — a cardiologist who is paid by a cardiology drugmaker also treats heart disease. It is shown so the reader can see it, not because it implies anything on its own.
| Company | Paid to this provider | Part D cost of their drugs |
|---|---|---|
| Tarsus Pharmaceuticals, Inc.Xdemvy | $640 | $22,15312 claims |
Reading this fairly. The Part D column is what drug plans and patients paid pharmacies — this provider received none of it, and it reflects how many patients they treat and what those drugs cost. Against peers, this provider's reported payments sit in the 95th percentile of 1,285 optometrist providers in Georgia.
