Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (53.3%), speaking fees and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 25 manufacturers reported payments, led by Oculus, Inc. at 31.9% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $4,455 and has fallen 79.3% since, to $921 in 2025. Among optometrist clinicians in CA 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 119 payments — averaging $85.99 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
