Overview
- PTI says Imran Khan has been reported to have Central Retinal Vein Occlusion in his right eye and warns of potential permanent vision loss without urgent specialist care.
- A Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences team examined him in Adiala Jail on January 24 in a preliminary assessment that some reports say indicated possible CRVO.
- Jail officials offer a competing account, describing a minor eye infection treated with prescribed medication and saying doctors found him fit.
- PTI leaders filed petitions seeking Islamabad High Court intervention for medical access and family meetings, arguing treatment inside jail is insufficient.
- A follow-up medical review is scheduled for January 31 as the dispute continues over whether treatment must occur at an external hospital.
