PIMS Administers Third Eye Injection to Imran Khan, Says Vision Satisfactory

Doctors will gauge the effect of the latest dose in about four weeks.

Overview

  • Khan, who was taken to Islamabad’s PIMS on Monday, received a third anti‑VEGF intravitreal injection for a blocked retinal vein and was sent back to Adiala Jail after observation.
  • Hospital officials said he gave informed consent, stayed vitally stable before and after the day‑care procedure, and left with follow‑up instructions.
  • A PIMS medical board described his eyesight as satisfactory after the injection, noting that the need for any further dose will be decided after the four‑week review.
  • PTI and family members questioned the timing and secrecy of his transfer, pressed for treatment at Shifa International Hospital, and said his personal doctors lack access.
  • Earlier board findings reported gains in his right‑eye vision from 6/36 to 6/9 and reduced macular swelling, while his lawyer told the Supreme Court he had lost up to 85 percent vision in custody.
