Former prime minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan, currently held at Adiala Jail, was taken to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) on April 28 for eye treatment. He received his fourth eye injection as part of ongoing medical care for a retinal condition.
The fourth eye injection was given after doctors conducted a full medical assessment. An eye specialist examined his condition before the procedure. Reports confirmed that he was medically stable at the time of treatment. His eye scan results, including Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), showed improvement compared to previous evaluations.
The procedure was carried out in a controlled hospital environment. It was performed under microscopic guidance. All necessary medical precautions were followed to ensure safety. The treatment was completed as a day-care procedure, meaning no overnight stay was required.
During the fourth eye injection, Imran Khan’s vital signs remained stable. His condition was continuously monitored before, during, and after the procedure. Medical staff reported no complications throughout the treatment process.
After the procedure, he was discharged from the hospital. Doctors provided post-treatment care instructions. A follow-up plan was also scheduled to monitor progress and response to treatment.
The fourth eye injection is part of a series of intravitreal injections used to treat retinal conditions. These injections are commonly used to manage diseases that can affect vision and cause long-term damage if untreated.
What is Anti-VEGF Treatment?
Anti-VEGF treatment is a medical therapy used in eye care. It helps reduce abnormal blood vessel growth and leakage inside the eye. It is widely used for conditions that may lead to vision loss.
These conditions include age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, retinal vein occlusion, and other retinal disorders.
How VEGF Affects the Eye
VEGF stands for vascular endothelial growth factor. It is a protein that supports the growth of new blood vessels. In some eye diseases, VEGF becomes overactive. This leads to weak and abnormal blood vessels forming in the retina.
These vessels can leak fluid and damage vision. Anti-VEGF medication blocks this protein. It helps reduce swelling, controls leakage, and slows down abnormal vessel growth. Over time, it may stabilize or improve vision.
In summary, the fourth eye injection given to Imran Khan at PIMS was completed successfully. His condition remained stable, and doctors continue to monitor his recovery through follow-up care and planned evaluations
