Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 96.0% of the total across 67 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 22 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 16.0% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,739, 9.7 times the $178 reported in 2019. Among optometrist clinicians in TX 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 $93.43 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.
