Vessel blockages tend to be temporary and hard to pin down.
The baby aspirin a day thing, is insurance to prevent a clot.
I only had the one blood clot, and it never repeated. It took 6mos for my vision to return to normal, but it did.
If you look up on Wiki the term en bloc gave here, there are many more details. It can get pretty complicated. Mine was a real clot-- it backed up the venous blood and that spilled into the retina... the doctor saw it when I went in. The few days later when the angiogram was done, it was mostly dissolved away already, but it took months for the blood to be cleared away, and as long as it was there, I had a large hole in my night vision (about 1/2 of the whole field.)
