Ready to Transform Your Vision?

If you’ve been told you’re “hard to fit” for contacts — or if you simply want lasting comfort and clear vision — it’s time to explore scleral lenses with Dr. Amit Jain.

What Are Scleral Lenses?

Unlike regular contact lenses that sit on the cornea, scleral lenses are larger and rest gently on the sclera (the white part of your eye). This design creates a smooth, moisture-rich vault over your sensitive cornea, offering:

Scleral lenses are ideal for patients with:

To a certain level, cataract affected vision can be corrected with prescription eye-glasses including contacts or bifocals. However, beyond a certain point prescription glasses may be ineffective and surgical options have to be considered. In a cataract surgery, the patients’ cloudy lens is removed and replaced with a transparent Intra Ocular Lens (IOL) to restore good quality vision.

At the front of the eye, there is a small space called the anterior chamber. Clear fluid flows in and out of the chamber to bathe and nourish nearby tissues. In Glaucoma there is an impairment in the dynamics of this fluid called aqueous humour due to varied causes, some of which are unknown leading to increase in intraocular pressure. Unless this pressure is controlled, it may cause damage to the optic nerve and loss of vision.

Cataract Services

Because they constantly bathe the cornea in fluid, scleral lenses often succeed where regular lenses fail — helping patients regain comfort, confidence, and independence.
