Maybe never: The corneal nerves take a long time to heal, and some people who get dry eyes after Lasix (furosemide) never return to normal lacrimation. Remember that Lasix (furosemide) works by scarring the cornea, so "completely heal" is impossible.

Answer: Patients who undergo lasik can typically return to their normal activities within days. And most patients can drive their car the next day. A percentage of patients can take a few weeks to even a few months to reach their final vision. As well, during this time period, the lasik flap heals and becomes secure. So essentially the eye heals over the course of a few weeks to months.

Nerve regeneration: Basal nerve plexus is back to levels close to baseline by 1 year after surgery although vision is excellent much quicker.
