ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister and founding chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan, was brought to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims) for a scheduled follow-up of his ongoing eye treatment.
Hospital officials said he received the second dose of an anti-VEGF intravitreal injection on February 24 as part of his treatment plan. Before the procedure, he was examined by a panel of specialists, including a consultant cardiologist who conducted an echocardiography and ECG, both of which were reported to be normal, along with an assessment by a consultant physician. Doctors described him as clinically stable before the intervention.
The injection was administered under standard operating protocols in the operation theatre, with monitoring and precautionary measures in place. The procedure was carried out by a consultant ophthalmologist and a vitreo-retinal surgeon from Pims, in collaboration with a specialist from Al-Shifa Eye Hospital. The treatment was performed as a day-care surgery.
Officials said he remained vitally stable before, during, and after the procedure, and was later discharged with post-procedure care instructions and follow-up advice.
