Can item induced afflictions recuperate/heal?

Calling it ultimate wisdom makes it sound so... important. Let's say it's my memory of what happened. Certainly fallible. But, maybe it's random into which socket the eye is placed; if it's the socket with an eye you've got only the eye of aiming, while if it's the other you're doing as well as your Commander of Ulm did.

Or perhaps I just remember incorrectly.
