Revealed in the investigation of Pakistani Supreme Court
Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has lost about 85% of the vision in one eye. This information has come to light in the investigation conducted on the orders of the Supreme Court of Pakistan. Supreme Court-appointed lawyer Salman Safdar said in his report that Imran Khan had complained to the jail administration about blurred vision for several months.
Eye conditions and lack of treatment
His vision was normal till October 2025, but later he suddenly lost vision in the right eye. During the investigation an eye specialist from Pims Hospital was called in, who discovered that a blood clot had formed in his eye, causing serious damage. Despite treatment and injections, he now has only 15% vision in his right eye. Imran Khan says that he was not allowed to get treatment from a private doctor.
Mental pressure and lack of permission for treatment
According to the report, Imran Khan has been kept in isolation in Adiala jail since October 2023. His lawyer told after the meeting that he was mentally disturbed. Imran Khan, 73, also said he was not allowed to seek treatment from his personal doctors and did not undergo regular blood tests.
Restrictions on meeting family and lawyers
The report also mentions that restrictions have been imposed on meeting his family and lawyers. Despite court orders, his sisters were not allowed to meet regularly. However, after a recent change in the jail administration, he has been allowed to meet his wife for 30 minutes once a week.
central retinal vein occlusion disease
Imran Khan’s party PTI had reported last month that a disease called Central Retinal Vein Occlusion has been found in his right eye. Experts say that if proper treatment is not given, Imran may lose his eyesight forever.
blood clot in retina
The retina is the part of the eye that performs the function of seeing. After the vein gets clogged, blood starts accumulating in the retina, which can cause swelling and bleeding. If this condition persists for a long time, permanent damage to the retina may occur.
Risk of delay in treatment
According to experts, the risk of vision loss in central retinal vein occlusion increases when treatment is delayed. If the blockage becomes complete or the retina becomes too swollen, the damage can be permanent.
