Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has been left with only 15 percent vision in his right eye, a court was told during recent proceedings related to his ongoing cases.

According to submissions made before the court, Khan’s legal team informed the judge that his eyesight has significantly deteriorated, raising concerns about his medical condition while in custody. His lawyers reportedly sought medical attention and appropriate treatment, arguing that his health requires urgent care and specialist consultation.

The former premier, who has been embroiled in multiple legal battles since his ouster from power in 2022, has repeatedly raised concerns about his treatment in detention. His party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has also alleged that Khan’s health has worsened during incarceration and has called for better medical facilities and transparency.

Court officials acknowledged the medical claims during the hearing and indicated that the matter would be reviewed in accordance with prison regulations and medical protocols. Authorities have not publicly commented in detail on the extent of Khan’s condition but have previously stated that he is being provided medical care as per the law.

The development adds another layer to the political tensions surrounding the former prime minister’s legal troubles. Khan remains a central figure in Pakistan’s volatile political landscape, with his cases drawing both domestic and international attention.
