Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (46.1%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 23 manufacturers reported payments, led by Tarsus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 44.8% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $42,942, more than ten times the $1,500 reported in 2019. Among optometrist clinicians in VA 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 168 payments — averaging $476.03 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
