PTI claims Imran Khan suffering from serious eye ailment, warns of permanent damage
- Medical experts who examine former prime minister in jail had described the condition as highly sensitive and serious
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Tuesday expressed serious concern over the health of its incarcerated founder Imran Khan, claiming he is suffering from a critical eye condition that could lead to permanent loss of eyesight if not treated promptly.
In a statement posted on social media platform X, the party said it had learned through credible reports that Imran Khan had been diagnosed with central retinal vein occlusion in his right eye, resulting in a dangerous blockage affecting vision.
PTI said medical experts who examined the former prime minister in jail had described the condition as highly sensitive and serious, warning that any delay in proper treatment could cause irreversible damage to his eyesight.

The party alleged that despite clear medical advice, the jail administration was insisting that treatment be carried out within the prison premises, even though specialists had reportedly stated that such treatment required an operation theatre and advanced medical facilities not available in jail.
Terming the situation alarming, PTI said the continued delay and denial of appropriate medical care posed a grave risk to Imran Khan’s vision and overall health, and warned that authorities would be held responsible in case of permanent damage.
