Update Function is UsersController only saving for one field

Question

I am currently running into an issue with my update function in my UserController. The only field that will update correctly is the eid field, all other fields just cause the page to refresh.

I have looked at several other update function examples and I can't determine what

public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
    $this->validate($request,[
        'name' => 'required|max:255',
        'eid' => 'required|max:255|unique:users',
        'email' => 'required|email|unique:users,email,'.$id,
    ]);

    $user = User::findOrFail($id);
    $user->name = $request->name;
    $user->eid = $request->eid;
    $user->email = $request->email;
     if (!empty($request->password)) {
        $user->password = Hash::make($request->password);
    }
    $user->save();

    return redirect()->route('users.show', $id);

edit.blade.php

<form action="{{route('users.update', $user->id)}}" method="POST">
            {{csrf_field()}}
            {{method_field('PATCH')}}
            <div class="field">
                <label for="name" class="label">Name</label>
                <p class="control">
                    <input type="text" class="input" name="name" id="name" value="{{$user->name}}">
                </p>
            </div>
            <div class="field">
                <label for="eid" class="label">EID</label>
                <p class="control">
                    <input type="text" class="input" name="eid" id="eid" value="{{$user->eid}}">
                </p>
            </div>
            <div class="field">
                <label for="email" class="label">Email</label>
                <p class="control">
                    <input type="text" class="input" name="email" id="email" value="{{$user->email}}">
                </p>
            </div>
            <div class="field">
                <label for="password" class="label">Password</label>

                <p class="control m-t-10">

                    <input type="text" class="input" name="password" id="password" placeholder="Enter your password">
                </p>
            </div>
            <button class="button is-success is-pulled-right" type="submit">Update User</button>
        </form>
