About Me
I'm an ophthalmologist specializing in glaucoma. I chose this specialty because I love the one-on-one relationships physicians have with their patients. I enjoy getting to know people and improving their quality of life.
I chose to work at Ohio State for many reasons. As an Ohio native, I take pride in our state and its people. When I was a medical student, a family member came to Ohio State and received excellent care. I was impressed with the physician’s ability and compassion. I wanted to be a part of that.
I've always appreciated how procedures like refraction and cataract surgery improve vision. But I was drawn to multifaceted ocular diseases, such as glaucoma. I enjoy the long-term relationships with patients and families as I work with them throughout their treatment.
Preventing vision loss is rewarding. I screen patients to see if they have early signs of glaucoma or other diseases. Early detection helps prevent vision loss.
My patients receive the best possible care. My goal is to give them a thorough eye exam, explain what’s going on, address any fears and answer all of their questions.

Dr. Jain spent most of the day with me going over multiple testings, retesting, explaining surgery; was very through. My appt ended up being almost 7hrs long, but bc she was taking care of an issue that required an immediate fix and adding me on for emergent surgery next day.. She wanted to make sure all of the numbers and testing were accurate. I truly appreciate her caring attitude; trying to put me at ease, when it definitely was not an easy appt. Thank you for all of your help!!
Dr Shelly Jain is my provider for glaucoma. She has a wonderful personality, extremely smart and very well regarded by her staff!
Dr Jaine, as always was friendly, courteous and professional from her greeting as she entered, apologizing for her delay, during her examination, and instructions for the future. She was especially pleased with the pressure readings, 6 in right my seeing eye, and 14 in the sightless left. I left overjoyed with the status of my eyes.

Dr Jain I would recommend to anyone needing cataract treatment
Dr. Jain has always provided highly individualized care. Demonstrates strong interest and caring about unique aspects of treatment
Dr. Jain has been one of my doctors for several years. I could not ask for a more kind, compassionate and professional doctor. She even seemed to take on the mantle of responsibility for the unjustified wait time. We know that she had no knowledge or control of this. It was solely the responsibility of the nurses. I will unhappily endure this if it means I get to see Dr. Jain. She is truly worth it.

When she sees a change from my last visit, she explains it and if it's not a big issue for immediate attention, she tells me that and tells me the approach we'll take to monitor. I know she cares about my eye health.
