  "account": "Barrister Salman Safdar, representing Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi in the £190 million case, submitted an affidavit to the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Saturday. During a meeting at Adiala Jail, Safdar reported that Bushra's eyes appeared to be in an \"extremely vulnerable condition\". Bushra wore dark black glasses during the meeting, which she removed upon request, revealing severe distress as she could barely open her eyes without the glasses. Bushra informed Safdar and Imran that her doctors diagnosed her condition as mature cataract, necessitating another eye operation expected around November 15. She expressed dissatisfaction with the jail's cleanliness and treatment, requesting that her examination and treatment be conducted by her own doctors. Safdar promised to raise the issue and bring it to the court's attention. Separately, Bushra filed a miscellaneous application in the case, seeking the production of her complete medical record in court and an immediate examination by an eye specialist. The Supreme Court had earlier ordered Imran to be transferred to Shifa International Hospital for medical examination and treatment due to renewed concerns over his blood pressure.",
