YANGON, Oct 3, 2008 (AFP) - An eye doctor has visited Myanmar's pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi at her home, where she has been detained for most of the past two decades, her party said Friday.

The specialist accompanied the Nobel peace laureate's general physician and his assistant on a rare visit to her lakeside home in the main city Yangon on Thursday.

'The eye specialist spent about an hour with her,' National League of Democracy spokesman Nyan Win said, adding he had no further details about her health condition.

Witnesses said her regular physician Tin Myo Win spent about four hours at the house, just two weeks after his last visit.

The doctor had given Aung San Suu Kyi an intravenous drip on September 14, about a month after she began refusing to receive food rations delivered to her home.

The 63-year-old campaigner has refused to meet with anyone other than her lawyer and her doctor since early August.

She rejected talks with visiting UN envoy Ibrahim Gambari and the junta's liaison officer, labour minister Aung Kyi.

Aung San Suu Kyi's NLD won 1990 elections but the military, which has ruled Myanmar since 1962, never allowed them to take power.
