185 patients (196 eyes) with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were observed. The rate of epimacular membranes in a period of (6.1±1.7) month was 13.3 %. The development of proliferative tissue in macula statistically decreased the visual acuity. 5 clinical factors, which statistically influenced on epimacular membrane formation were revealed, such as, initial grade of proliferative vitreoretinopathy, preoperative uveal syndrome, initial intraocular pressure less than 12.0 mm Hg, postoperative exudative reaction, development of recurrences of retinal detachment, the most significant of them was preoperative uveal syndrome.
