YANGON (AFP) — Myanmar's detained democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi was in good health after her doctor and an eye specialist visited her for a routine check-up, a party spokesman said Saturday.

"She is in good condition," said Lwin, a spokesman of Aung San Suu Kyi's opposition party, the National League for Democracy. The two doctors saw her on Thursday, the spokesman said, but declined to give further details.

"We don't know exactly about her eye problem," said Lwin, who goes by only one name.

Military-ruled Myanmar has put the 61-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner under house arrest at her rambling lakeside home in Yangon for most of the past 17 years.
