Bleeding inside the eye.
To support a rating based on incapacitating episodes, the most useful records are clinical notes that show the date of each visit, confirmation that the visit was for treatment rather than routine follow-up, and what treatment was provided. Appointment logs, injection records, laser procedure notes, operative reports, and pharmacy records for systemic immunosuppressants or biologic agents can all document qualifying visits. The count must cover a 12-month window, so a complete set of records across that full period matters.
To support a rating based on visual impairment, records showing measured visual acuity, visual field testing, and any other eye function assessments help establish how much the hemorrhage has affected your sight. If your vision has changed over time, records from multiple dates can show that pattern. Statements from you or people who know you about how reduced vision or treatment episodes affect your ability to work or carry out daily activities can add context to the medical findings, though the rating itself turns on the clinical measurements and documented visit counts.
