Piggyback IOLs modify the vergence of light entering the eye after it leaves the incorrectly powered primary IOL

A piggyback IOL may be useful after removal of an incorrectly powered IOL
Piggyback IOLs may be less necessary as standard IOL power ranges increase
Aiming for a slight residual myopia in IOL power selection may be desirable because
Weaker lenses are thinner and are less likely to cause surgical or postoperative complications due to size, disruption of tissues, inflammation, and so on
The A constant is calculated for a slight degree of residual myopia
Residual myopia is closer to emmetropia than residual hyperopia
An error in power calculation is less likely to produce a resultant hyperopia, which would result in blurry vision at all distance
