Has anyone had a problem with glistening in a cateract replacement lens?

I had cateract surgery on my right last November and now they tell me I have glistening in the lens in that eye.  It is effecting the vision in that eye.  Has anyone had experience with this?

Glistenings occur mainly in acrylic lens.  However it is rare for this to have any effect on the vision that the patient is aware of.
