Information Minister Attaullah Tarar had earlier confirmed that Imran underwent<\/u><\/a> a medical procedure for an eye ailment last week at a hospital in Islamabad. According to the minister, the former premier was taken to the Pims in Islamabad for a \u201c20-minute\u201d medical procedure on the night of January 24.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt [the procedure] was completed smoothly in approximately 20 minutes. During the treatment, the patient remained vitally stable and was discharged with routine post-procedure care instructions and follow-up advice and documents,\u201d said Sikander.<\/p>\n

The doctor said the former premier, aged 74, complained of \u201creduced vision in his right eye\u201d, adding that a \u201cqualified ophthalmologist\u201d from the hospital conducted a \u201ccomplete eye assessment at Adiala jail\u201d.<\/p>\n

Sikander elaborated that the doctor dispatched to the prison conducted \u201cstrict lab examination, [ocular] endoscopy, intraocular pressure measurement, essential laboratory tests and OCT of the retina\u201d.<\/p>\n

He added that based on the initial assessment, the diagnosis of right central vein occlusion was made and a hospital-based treatment was recommended.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccordingly, Mr Niazi was brought to Pims on the night of last Saturday, Sunday for the advised procedure.\u201d<\/p>\n

The head of the hospital said Imran, after arrival at Pims, was \u201cexplained in full\u201d about the procedure.<\/p>\n

\u201cInformed consent was obtained from the patient prior to the procedure. The procedure was carried out in the operation theatre under standard sterile protocol and monitoring,\u201d said Dr Sikander.<\/p>\n
