Generally not very long for LASIK, maybe one to two days. It can be longer for surface ablation treatments like PRK.
Usually the vision is very clear the next day on awakening. SO
Everyone heals differently, but most people notice a big improvement in the first 48 hours and then continued improvement over the first several weeks. If you are near sighted (see better up close without glasses or contacts) prior to surgery you will likely see clearly sooner. Make sure you follow all the post op instructions for best results.
Your vision is blurry for about 24hrs after the procedure
For most patients, the vision is very clear almost immediately after LASIK. It may be a little blurry for the first few days to a week and then stabilizes by 2-4 weeks after the procedure.

Vision should be blurry immediately after surgery but get clearer in the following days. If you are experiencing loss of vision or pain you should contact your surgeon immediately.
Usually a few hours, then you should be clear
