Imran Khan's Eye Ailment Sparks Medical Concerns
Imran Khan, a former leader of Pakistan, is in jail.
His party says he has a serious eye problem that needs special treatment.
The government says he had a medical procedure and is fine, but his party is worried because they think he is not getting the right care.
They also say he is being kept alone too much, which is not fair.
His family says he is okay physically but feels sad because he is alone a lot.
The government has not let him meet with his own doctor for a long time, and his party wants more information about his health.
Imran Khan was examined by government doctors in Adiala Jail due to concerns over his eye ailment.
His party claims he has Central Retinal Vein Occlusion (CRVO) in his right eye, requiring specialized treatment.
The government states that Khan underwent a 20-minute medical procedure at a government hospital and is in good health.
PTI alleges that Khan is being denied proper medical treatment and access to his personal physician.
Khan's family and legal team have been denied regular access, with his sister reporting he is in solitary confinement.
