I had 6-4 astigmatism and am 33 YO. Now I don’t have astigmatism but I can only see few metres away.

I had my first follow-up yesterday and couldn’t read the letters my doctor showed me. He checked everything about the surgery and my eyes and said “Everything seems normal but you should have read the letters. This is unusual. Let’s see you in two days.” I was too scared to ask anything after hearing “unusual”. I just said “Okay thanks” and left the hospital quickly.

We discussed beforehand that my retina was likely eligible for a touch-up surgery because the machine might not have completely corrected my astigmatism during the first surgery. However, I didn’t expect myopia. I have another follow-up tomorrow and I still can’t see the small letters from a short distance.

Have you encountered anything similar? Will it resolve itself or did you need a touch-up?

Since I bought the M5 Pro MacBook, I was having problems updating my OS. At first, it was updating the machine when it was not plugged in, and while updating to 26.5, it drained all the battery and I wasn't able to open my MacBook Pro for like an hour. I thought that it was bricked but lucky me it was not. And then, it stopped updating altogether. When I checked for updates, it had prompted me that I was already up to date, but I knew I was not.

Today, I did some research and found a way to update my device even though it says I am up to date. 

I found a post on here and it suggests a bash script to use: 

softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 26.6

This timed out several times:

Scanning for 26.6 installer
Install failed with error: Installation failed

Then I took the URL from the output and curled InstallAssistant:

curl -L -C - --retry 20 --retry-delay 5 -o ~/Downloads/InstallAssistant.pkg "https://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/56/57/140-71750-A_ZJ1ETGFD03/dnnk12px38rclkv5ettt24crfqd9w244ua/InstallAssistant.pkg"

I installed InstallAssistant.pkg into my root directory:

sudo installer -pkg ~/Downloads/InstallAssistant.pkg -target /

And searched for "Install MacOS” in the Applications directory and started the installation, and my machine is updated to 26.6.

I hope this saves your time if you have a similar problem.
