Following the directives of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, a high-level medical board conducted a comprehensive health assessment of PTI founder Imran Khan at Adiala Jail.
This development comes amid growing concerns regarding the former Prime Minister’s eyesight and overall well-being.
The medical team focused primarily on a reported vision loss in Mr. Khan’s right eye. Sources indicate a diagnosis of Central Retinal Vein Occlusion (CRVO).
The PTI founder previously claimed that his vision in the affected eye has dropped to approximately 15%. A team of five senior specialists (including ophthalmologists from PIMS and Holy Family Hospital) spent over an hour conducting tests. An ambulance equipped with advanced eye-examination machinery was brought inside the jail premises via Gate 5.
The preliminary report includes a detailed chart of Mr. Khan’s blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, and glucose levels. The initial medical findings have been officially dispatched to the Punjab Home Department.
