Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (59.9%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. It is spread thinly across 23 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 23.3%. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $2,282 and has fallen 74.4% since, to $585 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.

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.
