Clusters are useful cosmological tools which allow to understand how large scale structures and galaxies evolve in the Universe. I will review some of the methods based on optical observations of clusters of galaxies to derive cosmological properties, describing methods and limitations to find clusters and to study these structures depending on cluster characteristics.
