Specializes in Ophthalmology

Dystonia: You need to consult a Neurologist for further clarification of your diagnosis. It is an inherited condition involving a part of the brain called Cerebellum : responsible for movements. As for Inherited Dystonia it is usually associated with higher Intelligence. Best of luck.
