Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (45.6%), consulting fees and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 14 manufacturers reported payments, led by Coopervision Inc. at 24.3% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,732, 5.3 times the $329 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 84 payments — averaging $60.99 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
