New Delhi - Detained Burmese pro-democracy leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi on Thursday was visited by an eye-specialist for a check-up, a party official said.

Nyan Win, spokesperson for the National League for Democracy, told Mizzima on Friday that Aung San Suu Kyi was visited by her family doctor, Tin Myo Win, along with eye specialist Dr. Kan Nyunt.

However Nyan Win commented, "We don't know any details of the visit or information regarding the health situation of Aung San Suu Kyi."

The two doctors' visit yesterday was the first since the military junta reportedly acquiesced to certain demands of Aung San Suu Kyi last month, including a monthly visit by her family physician.

In early September, rumors spread that the Nobel Peace Laureate was on hunger strike in protest against her treatment, after she refused fresh food supplies beginning August 15th.
