Cataract surgery is one the most common surgeries within medicine. The technique’s objective is the removal of the natural lens of the eye that has developed an opacification, and its replacement with an intraocular lens to provide optimal visual acuity. An accurate assessment of the effective lens position is critical to achieve a good postoperative refractive outcome. This is the only variable that cannot be measured in the preoperative period and most be predicted, therefore it represents one of the greatest challenge for the cataract surgeon, since it can greatly influence the visual outcome of the patient. Recent research proposes new parameters of the estimation of the effective lens position that are related to the geometry of the lens. Research has been made in order describe the importance of an adequate estimation of the effective lens position and to learn more about the lastest formulas proposed for its calcutation. Many studies proposed new formulas based on lens geometry parameters. The Infomed platform, specifically the Virtual Health Library, was used with all its search engines.

Palabras clave : Cataract; effective lens position; intraocular lens.
