PIMS Gives Imran Khan Fourth Eye Injection, Says Condition Stable

PTI renews calls for private care, pressing for independent tests.

Overview

  • Hospital officials in Islamabad administered a fourth intravitreal anti-VEGF injection on Tuesday after scans showed improvement, then discharged him back to Adiala Jail with follow-up instructions.
  • Doctors are treating Khan for central retinal vein occlusion in his right eye, a blockage of the main vein that drains the retina which can be linked to high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, or heart disease.
  • Medical reports filed with the Supreme Court state he was diagnosed in late January and has complained of up to 85% vision loss in the affected eye.
  • PIMS says he remained clinically and vitally stable before, during, and after the day-care procedure, and its Optical Coherence Tomography scan indicated improvement.
  • PTI leaders and family members demand a transfer to a private hospital and access to personal doctors, and his sister has alleged possible poisoning, a claim not supported by hospital statements or court-ordered medical reviews.
