A specialized medical board, comprising some of the country’s leading ophthalmologists, conducted a thorough assessment to gauge the effectiveness of the treatment.
The examination process included advanced diagnostic procedures such as fundoscopy and optical coherence tomography (OCT), both critical in evaluating the internal structures of the eye and the retina’s health. The medical team, led by Dr. Nadeem Qureshi and Dr. Muhammad Arif Khan, meticulously reviewed the results to determine the progress made since the initial treatment.

The medical board emphasized that the second intraocular injection had contributed significantly to this positive development. They described the current state of the leader’s vision as satisfactory, indicating that the treatment is on the right track and yielding encouraging results.
Furthermore, the board outlined a detailed plan for ongoing care, including additional treatment protocols and monitoring to ensure the continued recovery of the patient’s vision. This approach underscores the commitment of the medical professionals involved to provide comprehensive and sustained care tailored to the patient’s needs.

This team included retinal specialist Dr. Nadeem Qureshi along with ophthalmologists Dr. Arif and Dr. Osal from PIMS. Equipped with state-of-the-art medical instruments, the team conducted the necessary examinations on-site, ensuring that the patient received expert care despite the challenging environment.
