Question for those with nearsightedness + eye strabismus: has surgery ever helped?

I have had two eye surgeries, both of which only slightly helped. I wonder if it's just hopeless for me.

What is wrong with my Mac book Air? Is it Malware or Damage?

So I have a 15 inch Macbook Air that was given to me last year. And since then I noticed some 'issues' with it. These include:

  • Brightness buttons not working, and even the slide bar was missing in settings.
  • Being able to move the cursor on a black screen after restarting. I had to restart twice just for it to be normal.
  • Flashes of text on the top left when I Google search something.
  • Pink screen flash after restarting too.
  • Audio sometimes not working.
  • Sometimes I get that "beach ball" cursor
  • And recently, it has started slowly things much more slowly. Even googling searching takes a full minute just to load.

No. I am not going to return it and no I do not have Apple Care.

Two eye surgeries that didn't work and I'm fuming.

According to my doctor, I had one eye going up and the other going sideways, I had my first eye strabismus surgery around 16/17.

I don't recall if it actually worked, but like two years later it was back again. Around this time my family was starting to get into this nutty ultra health freak lifestyle, sort of like the one where they believe carrots can cure cancer or some crap , so I had to spend 3 years endless arguing with them that the surgery "wasn't going to make me blind." and that it would be good walking around without double vision or constant headaches.

The result? Another below mediocre outcome where almost nothing has changed. I still see double and I see get headaches just by looking ahead. But hey, at least my eye crossing is less noticeable.

It's not fair. Two different surgeons with results so disappointing I'm starting to think it's intentional. Yeah I know they don't always get it right, but when you spent years fighting with your families snake oil belief to get barely an improvement with more scar tissue on your eye, you'll be pretty fucking pissed.

It's like they barely even tried to fix it.

Even when I could open my eyes, I would still see double but they told me "Just wait and see if it improves." which I learned is basically "Just gaslight yourself with the fake hope it get better"

I don't want to spend my youth like this. I'm a college student, I don't have a car yet and I don't know anyone else who would drive me.

Magma. Lines have a constant blurry look to it no matter if I change the brush or the size.

How do I make it look it has low FPS?

How do I get rid of the smudges on the screen? I already used a glasses microfiber cloth, but it didn't work.

Has the protective coating been stripped away? I did use a keyboard cover briefing before being told it was bad, but I don't really see much markings from it.

How do I stop making the lines so blurry? (Magma)

I already tried changing the flow, brush shape, but every time I draw it just looks blurry. I even tried changing the zoom, (Sometimes I like to go really close to add details) but it never works.

I have this cover on my Mac, (Juaupepo). I know covers are a nono but this cover does have vents to prevent overheating. Is that good enough?

What is wrong with my Mac book Air? Is it damaged or does it have malware?

So I have a 15 inch Macbook Air that was given to me last year. And since then I noticed some 'issues' with it. These include:

No. I am not going to return it and no I do not have Apple Care.

I have a Juaupepo cover on it if that's important. (Yes I know covers are bad but this seems reliable since it has vents and it does have decent reviews)

I have some minor issues with my mac, and am wondering if this is the cause.

Issues are:

  • Brightness keyboard buttons not working, and even the slide bar was missing in settings when I look for it.
  • Black screen after restarting that has nothing but my mouse. I had to restart twice just for it to be normal.
  • Flashes of text on the top left when I Google search something.
