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.

Who reported the general payments

Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.

What the payments were tied to

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.

How this compares

$5,123 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 4,315 optometrist providers in Texas.
