It is unlikely that the falmer would regain their sight let alone their previously held sentience and virtues. If they did however they would be a force to be reckoned with.

Following evolutionary patterns it seems that they would have no need of eyesight and will continue to get more and more deadly due to constant battle with dwemer animaculi and random adventurers combined with the increasing sensitivity of other senses.

Their ability to use their ears and other senses to track and perfom archery, rivalling that of someone possessing eyes is a supernatural feat to say the least. Their use of guerilla warfare turns their already inhospitable environment into something out of a horror film. The fact that you as the dovahkiin are able to run into these tunnels and exterminate encampments of falmer is poetic license at its most distorted. The only race perceivably capable of facing the falmer are the kahjiit due to their eyes, but sight will barely tip the scales when the falmers superior tactics and traps are involved.

In the long run it is likely they will come to rival the nords, they have already shown an ability to tunnel under settlements and survive in these caverns for prolonged amounts of time and kill using these methods.

So tell me this, whats stopping them from tunneling underneath one of the major cities of Skyrim and killing everyone in the dead of night...?

Nothing.
