Hi Scott. I had a CRAO in July of 2021. I woke up and had no vision in my left eye it was painless. My vision will not come back according to the specialist I saw. I was 72 yrs young and it has affected my depth perception so I don't drive anymore. It has been a learning thing with going down stairs or trying pick things up is a few things. Good luck and wish you well.

Did you ever get any vision or light in your eye back) Mine went black also after an eye stroke last month . After a few days light started coming in and I have gray clouds surrounding my central vision but this vision is not usable. I have been given so many reasons by retinal consultants. Ocular migraines ( but vision doesn’t go out this long). Vein occlusion which can be treated but because of a so called professional retina consultant making me wait three hours after this happened in his office it would have been too late. The last one I saw (in the same group of Drs) could see the plaque going up my eye and sent me to the hospital to run a CT scan and MRI . Nothing was found I guess . Was discharged the next day and told to take baby aspirin . Was never seen by an eye doctor while in there. My original retina specialist who has been treating me for myopic degenerative in the same eye never bothered calling or seeing me. This had been going on for several weeks before I finally found a new specialist who said it was an artery occlusion. What a nightmare. Hopefully you are doing better, and I wish you well.
