Rajev Paul is out of contacts and we mean that literally. Yes, in the first place few know that Rajev used to wear contact lenses for his poor vision. Now, he has gone ahead with a laser surgery to correct his vision to do away with myopia.

"I have gifted myself good vision," beams the actor.

The surgery was performed by well-known ophthalmologist Dr Nitin Dedhia from
Bandra and Rajev is very happy with the outcome.

Throwing more light on his surgery, he says "I had a number of minus 4. I was wearing contact lenses during shoots or spectacles otherwise. It was a hassle as my eyes got irritated when I used lens for a longer time. I got quite tired of taking care of the lens, especially when I would return late after hosting an event and could not hit the bed right away as I would have to pay extra attention to wash my hands properly to avoid infection of the lens while removing and storing them in their solution."

Just a matter of a few hours and it was over with after which Rajev could go home but not open his eyes for one day. "There's irritation and watering for a day or two due to the operation. But after that your vision gets wonderful as I could get up in the morning and see everything clearly," enthuses Rajev, adding further, "I have been boring Delnaaz by looking out of the window, calling out excitedly to tell I can see the buildings, the road and everything clearly."

As for precautions, "You cannot wash your eyes with water for 15 days or go swimming for a month to avoid contamination. All my life I have shifted glasses on my nose and this is the best gift I have ever given myself," signs off the jovial star who's busy hosting shows and events.
