Pakistan ex-PM Imran's vision has returned to almost normal after treatment, jail officials tell top court

Jail authorities in Pakistan have informed the Supreme Court that former Prime Minister Imran Khan's vision has nearly returned to normal after receiving treatment for a retinal vein occlusion. The report, submitted by Adiala Jail Rawalpindi officials, stated that the 73-year-old former premier's eye condition has improved significantly.

Khan, who has been incarcerated since August 2023, has undergone multiple medical treatments for his ailment, identified as right central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO), since it was diagnosed in late January. The jail administration's report was filed ahead of a Supreme Court hearing on Khan's plea for treatment at Shifa International Islamabad.

The report also assured the court that both Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, are being provided with adequate healthcare facilities. Jail officials emphasized that their health and well-being are of paramount importance to the administration. Medical officers have been attending to the couple's health needs.
