You have a point there but the thing is that if Roy regains his eyesight right away it feels cheap compared to what Ed and Al have gone throught during their long and painful journey.
Besides the Hawkeye plot twist was not meant to be longlasting tragedy. We all knew that the conclusion would be shown in the next chapter. That isn't the case with the blindness-twist.
And I think that the ending would have more emotional impact if the characters didn't succeed in everything they had hoped for. Arakawa has written such a diverse and exciting story it would be really boring and predictable if in the end everyone were happy.
