Sources in Pims’ administration said the PTI founder was brought to the hospital for follow-up eye treatment, which included the administration of a fifth anti-VEGF intravitreal injection to him.
“Prior to the procedure, he was examined by the ophthalmologists and was found to be clinically stable. His optical coherence tomography was performed, which showed clinical improvement,” a source told Dawn.
The source said that after “obtaining informed consent and under standard monitoring, adopting all standard precautionary measures and protocols in the operating theatre, he was injected with a fifth dose of intravitreal injection under the guidance of microscopy by the surgeons”.
“During the course of his stay, he remained vitally stable before, during and after the procedure and was discharged along with instructions for further care and follow-up advice and documents,” the source added.
