Hi , welcome and thanks for writing in.
Prognosis of a patient with acquired cortical blindness depends largely on the original cause of the blindness. For instance, patients with bilateral occipital lesions have a much lower chance of recovering vision than patients who suffered a transient ischemic attack or women who experienced complications associated with eclampsia. In patients with acquired cortical blindness, a permanent complete loss of vision is rare. The development of cortical blindness into the milder cortical visual impairment is a more likely outcome.
It will be helpful to take neuroaid definitely. However outcome will be depend on original loss of neurons.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have further concern please let me know.

Regards.
