ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): A team of expert doctors from PIMS and Al-Shifa International conducted a complete and detailed medical examination of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan in Adiala jail.
According to the doctors, Imran Khan’s eyesight has improved significantly. The medical team also expressed complete satisfaction with the ongoing treatment, sources added
The ophthalmologists also gave a detailed briefing to the opposition leaders and Khan’s personal physicians for about an hour and a half, according to the sources.
Earlier, a team of medical experts reached Adiala Jail, including staff from PIMS, Shifa, and Holy Family ambulances, which carried medical equipment and medicines to conduct a detailed examination of Imran Khan’s eye.
This development comes after the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Thursday told the Supreme Court that party founder Imran Khan has been left with only 15 per cent vision in his right eye.
PTI counsel Salman Safdar submitted a seven-page medical report in court today, which stated that Khan was diagnosed with a blood clot that caused severe damage, causing him to lose partial vision.
“Despite the treatment administered (including an injection), he [Imran Khan] has been left with only 15pc vision in his right eye”, Safdar quoted Imran as saying.
Imran further said that he subsequently suffered a sudden and complete loss of vision in his right eye, following which an ophthalmologist from Pims Hospital, Dr Muhammad Arif, was called to examine him.
Salam further added that he personally observed that Khan appeared “visibly perturbed and deeply distressed by the loss of vision and the absence of timely and specialised medical intervention”.
“Throughout the meeting, the Petitioner’s eyes were watery, and he repeatedly used a tissue to wipe them, reflecting physical discomfort,” the report stated.
