On Sunday, February 15, 2026, a team of medical specialists conducted a detailed eye examination of PTI founder Imran Khan at Adiala Jail. The check-up followed the Supreme Court’s deadline to assess claims that Khan had lost 85% of his vision in his right eye.
In a positive update shared on Monday, February 16, Khan’s sister, Noreen Khanum, confirmed that the swelling around his eye has decreased and his vision is showing signs of improvement.
Details of the Medical Examination (Feb 15)
The examination lasted over an hour and was conducted with advanced medical equipment brought directly into the jail premises.
- The Medical Team: Included Dr. Arif (PIMS) and Dr. Nadeem Qureshi (Al-Shifa Trust Eye Hospital).
- Equipment Used: A slit lamp, an OCT scan machine, and a fully equipped ambulance were stationed at the jail.
- Collaboration: Findings were shared via conference call with Khan’s personal physicians, Dr. Asim Yusuf and Dr. Faisal Sultan, to ensure transparency as directed by the court.

Treatment Plan
While initial reports are encouraging, the medical team remains cautious and has outlined a structured treatment phase for the next two weeks.
| Stage | Treatment / Procedure | Target Date |
| Stage 1 (Completed) | First dose of Eylea injection administered. | Early Feb |
| Stage 2 (Pending) | Ocular Angiogram to determine the extent of vessel damage. | This Week |
| Stage 3 | Second dose of Eylea injection. | Feb 25, 2026 |
| Possible Stage 4 | Laser treatment (to be decided based on angiogram results). | TBD |
Note on Medication: There is an ongoing discussion between jail doctors and personal physicians about switching to Vabysmo, a potentially more effective injection. For now, the team will continue with Eylea due to the observed positive response.

Political Reaction and Court Deadline
Despite the medical progress, the PTI leadership and Aleema Khanum have expressed reservations.
- Transparency Concerns: The party initially “rejected” the inspection process, claiming they were not given sufficient notice to have personal doctors physically present during the tests.
- Hospital Transfer: While government figures hinted at a transfer to Shifa International Hospital, the jail superintendent clarified that Khan is currently stable enough to be treated within the jail’s medical wing.
What Happens Next?
The formal medical report is expected to be submitted to the Supreme Court today, Monday, February 16. The bench will then decide if Khan requires further hospitalization or if the current treatment regime at Adiala is sufficient.
