PTI founder Imran Khan’s vision has returned to “almost normal” following treatment, according to a report submitted to Pakistan’s Supreme Court. The Imran Khan vision update was provided by the Adiala jail superintendent on Monday.
The report said doctors observed significant improvement in Khan’s eye condition after medical treatment. It stated that the jail administration arranged healthcare from leading public-sector medical facilities in Islamabad.
According to the report, Khan was examined by several government doctors during his incarceration at Adiala jail. Medical records of the consultations were also submitted with the report. He received treatment from specialists for an eye condition.
The report said immediate medical intervention was provided after Khan was diagnosed with the condition. He was treated at PIMS Islamabad by ophthalmologist Dr Muhammad Arif Khan and at Alshifa Trust Eye Hospital by vitreo-retinal surgeon Dr Nadeem Qureshi.
The documents said Khan’s latest reported eye examination took place on August 10. Dr Arif Khan conducted the check-up and recorded no significant complications. The report described the Imran Khan vision condition as showing substantial improvement.
Consultant records attached to the report also detailed an earlier examination conducted on July 10. Doctors used specialised equipment during the assessment and found that Khan’s lens was clear. They also noted that previously reported haemorrhages had resolved.
The Adiala jail superintendent submitted the report to the Supreme Court registrar while seeking disposal of the relevant criminal appeal. The report argued that the medical records and improvement in Khan’s condition showed that appropriate treatment had been provided.
