Paul recently opened up about the eye problems he had faced on his podcast, ‘Impaulsive’. In the show, he revealed that his doctor told him he had astigmatism and would need to wear glasses regularly. “I’m tired, my eyes checked I got astigmatism. I’m gonna need glasses” he said.

The doctors might be right on this one as surgeries especially around the eye require intensive care. Moreover, Paul has transitioned into professions that are certainly not the right ones to compete in with a surgically repaired eye.
