Overview
- Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences’ director said Imran Khan was diagnosed with retinal vein occlusion and received an anti‑VEGF intravitreal injection with his consent during a roughly 20‑minute procedure.
- Information Minister Attaullah Tarar confirmed Khan was moved from Adiala Jail to PIMS on the night of January 24, remained stable throughout, and was returned to jail with follow‑up instructions.
- After an overnight protest at Adiala and a day‑long sit‑in outside the Supreme Court, PTI leaders said authorities agreed to give Khan his medical report and provide a copy to his family, with personal doctors to be allowed access after the report is issued.
- PTI alleges a secret hospital transfer without timely notice to family or counsel and claims basic custodial rights were denied, while some relatives questioned reports of an eye problem.
- Government figures have framed the episode as a non‑issue handled under jail rules, and reporting by ThePrint notes a temporary suspension of jail meetings until February 8 that has complicated visitation.
