Margarito will likely need a long time to let that eye heal. I struggle to see it holding against anyone. The way it went so quickly here is testament to the fact that though his eye and bone is fine, the tissue just doesn't hold up to repeated punching and when you fight like Margarito that is going to be a big handicap.
He's getting older now anyway and as a pressure fighter, he is unlikely to get better. He has probably banked and should enjoy having been able to make these last few paydays. No need to keep on butchering that eye. One day it could give out.
