ISLAMABAD — ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister and PTI founder Imran Khan was again taken to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims) for tests and follow-up treatment for his eye condition, a hospital official told Dawn on Wednesday. “Imran Khan was brought from the Adiala jail in Rawalpindi to Pims in Islamabad during the night between Nov 10 and 11 for a medical check-up and follow-up eye treatment on the advice of the ophthalmologist treating him,” the official said.
The hospital official added that, prior to the procedure, the former premier underwent a medical examination, including an ocular assessment. “His vital parameters were found to be normal. He was clinically stable, and his general physical examination was unremarkable.
After obtaining informed consent and following standard monitoring procedures, precautionary measures and clinical protocols, the ophthalmology team administered an intravitreal anti-VEGF injection,” the official said.

The PTI founder was discharged at around 2:30am with the necessary instructions for further care and follow-up, according to the official.
