ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): A new medical board has reached Adiala Jail to examine the affected eye of incarcerated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan on Wednesday.
According to the jail administration, the medical team, which consists of four expert doctors and other medical staff, was formed by the Commissioner Islamabad in compliance with the Islamabad High Court’s order.
As per the details, the medical board has begun a detailed medical examination of the PTI founder. The checkup is being conducted in the presence of his wife, Bushra Bibi, the jail administration said.
The doctors include renowned ophthalmologists Dr. Nadeem Qureshi and Dr. Arif, who will conduct a detailed examination of the PTI founder’s eye.
The medical team has also brought an ambulance equipped with modern and specialized equipment so that all medical equipment and facilities are available during the check-up.

Imran Khan gets eye treatment
Earlier, on February 24, former Prime Minister Imran Khan was brought to Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) for a follow-up eye treatment linked to the treatment of his right eye.
According to the PIMS ED, Imran Khan, 74, was brought to PIMS for follow-up eye treatment, i.e., second dose of anti-VEGF intravitreal injection on February 24, 2026.
“Before the procedure, he was examined by a board of specialists, including a Consultant Cardiologist who also performed Echocardiography and ECG (Results: NORMAL), and a Consultant Physician.”
The doctors had prescribed three injections for his eye care.
A press statement by the PIMS administration said that Imran Khan was found to be clinically stable.
“After obtaining informed consent, and under standard monitoring, precautionary measures and protocols in the operating theatre, he was injected with a second dose of intravitreal injection of Anti-VEGF under the guidance of a Consultant Ophthalmologist, and Consultant Vitreo-Retinal Surgeon of PIMS and Al Shifa Eye Hospital. The procedure was performed as a day care surgery,” the hospital admin said.
The press release further said that during the course of his stay, Imran Khan remained vitally stable before, during, and after the procedure, and was discharged along with instructions for care, follow-up advice, and the documents.
He was taken to the hospital under heightened security for the second time from Rawalpindi’s Adiala jail for treatment of the right eye after his first visit late in January.
