Black Zetsu confirmed that Madara survived thanks to the Izanagi, and that he used the same trick as Itachi with Amaterasu too. Since BZ recorded all the history of shinobi until he was eventually sealed, and was personally interested in Madara/Hashi battle (due to his goal of Rinnegan recreation to free and resurrect Ten-Tails > Kaguya), his words cannot be challenged. Thus, Rinnegan awakening really can restore eyesight if it was lost before due to Izanagi use.
