A Supreme Court-ordered report revealing that PTI founder Imran Khan’s right eye is now functioning at only 15% capacity has sparked widespread reactions on social media, with journalists, analysts and supporters expressing concern over his health and prison conditions.
The report, submitted by lawyer Salman Safdar after a two-hour meeting at Adiala prison, details Khan’s complaints about his deteriorating vision, limited medical care and prolonged solitary confinement. He also described his daily routine and the facilities available in detention.
Imran Khan said that about three to four months earlier, until October 2025, he had normal vision of 6×6 in both eyes. He then began to have persistent blurred and blurred vision, which he experienced on several occasions.

جو رپورٹ سامنے آئی ہے اس سے یہ ثابت ہو گیا کہ وقت کا یزید بے شرم ھی ہے اور ظالم ھی۔ عمران لی ایک آنکھ کی بینائی مکمل ختم ہو گئی۔ لیکن علاج نہ کروایا گیا۔ اور صرف آئی ڈراپس دئیے گئے۔ The exchange rate is 15% compared to the average
یہ ظلم ہے ہمیں اس کے خلاف کھڑا ہونا پڑے گا۔

The important fact is that Imran Khan’s left eye was damaged while access to his lawyers and family was blocked by the regime. Imran Khan had no way to communicate about his health condition and receive proper treatment on time.
