CRYSTALENS AND PVD

I received this e-mail from a refractive surgeon:
"I have noticed that several of my crystalens patients have developed large PVDs with central floaters in the visual axis, and this seems to be at a higher rate than what I would see with standard catarct surgery. Has anyone else noticed this? If you see a few cases let me know, we might want to study the situation and possibly report it. It may be that the patient population is younger, or different in some way, or it may be related to the IOL and that it shifts back and forth in the eye causing more vitreous movements."
Anybody seen anything on this?
