ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) administration on Friday provided an update on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan’s eye treatment at the hospital.
Dr Rana Imran, Executive Director of Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) has revealed that former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who is currently incarcerated at the Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi, underwent specialized eye treatment at the hospital.
The PTI founder had reported experiencing vision issues in his right eye, leading doctors to diagnose him with retinal vein occlusion after comprehensive examinations. An ophthalmologist at the Adiala Jail had previously performed an examination, including an OCT scan, to evaluate his eye health.
Imran Khan was transferred to PIMS on night between Saturday and Sunday for eye treatment, where doctors administered an anti-VEGF intra-vitreal injection, with patient’s [Imran Khan] consent, into his affected eye. The procedure, which lasted about 20 minutes, was described as smooth and without complications.
Dr Rana Imran stated that Khan was discharged from the hospital with instructions for ongoing care and follow-up appointments to ensure proper recovery. The treatment aims to improve his vision and prevent further deterioration, he said.
