I am sorry. CRVO with or without CME(cystoid macular edema) is a determining factor for visual prognosis. Even after resolution of CME there can be loss of contrast which causes aquity to be in normal range but sharpness of image to worsen.
Considering age and sex kindly rule out immunological diseases, like autoimmune and granulomatous disease.
But the cause my be undetectable, still regular follow up of affected eye for neovascularization and fellow eye as there is 2% chance of CRVO for every 2 yrs.And systemic evaluation regularly.
CT brain is of not much help in my opinion.
