On February 16, 2026, a medical board reported significant improvements in the eyesight of Imran Khan, the founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), who has been incarcerated since August 2023. The report indicated that his vision in the right eye improved from 6/36 to 6/9, while the left eye maintained a 6/6 vision with corrective glasses. The central macular thickness in his right eye decreased from 550 microns to 350 microns, suggesting a positive recovery trajectory. Law Minister Azam Nazir Tarar confirmed these findings, stating, "There is nothing to worry about," and emphasized that the medical team expressed satisfaction with the ongoing treatment. This assessment was conducted in response to a Supreme Court directive requiring a detailed medical report by the same date (Geo News, February 16, 2026).
