Issue with formula conversion

A random effect formulation for R package nlme is read in as a string
of characters from an input file:

ranEff <- "pdCompSymm(~1+Age)"

I need to convert 'ranEff' to a formula class. However, as shown below:
~1 + Age

the "pdCompSymm" is lost in the conversion. Any solutions? Thanks!
