This depends entirely on what the cloudiness is from. If it is from inflammation then generally I see the cloudiness begin improving after a week or two. If it is cataracts or lenticular sclerosis then it will likely never go away. Inflammation of the eye can cause this cloudy appearance and once the infection or other cause is treated, it usually improves. My longest case I've had took 3 months to resolve entirely. I hope this helps give you a better idea on how long it may take for this to improve. Have a great rest of your weekend!
