On February 24, 2026, Imran Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and former Prime Minister, received a second anti-VEGF intravitreal injection at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) as part of his ongoing treatment for a serious eye condition, specifically central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). This procedure was conducted under heightened security and followed a medical examination by a board of specialists, which included a cardiologist who performed echocardiography and ECG, both of which returned normal results. According to a hospital statement, Khan's vision had improved from 6/36 to 6/9 in his affected right eye, although he has reported an 85% loss of vision overall. "Mr. Khan was brought to PIMS for a second dose of anti-VEGF injection," a doctor at the hospital confirmed (Nukta Pakistan, February 24, 2026).
