Hello
Thanks for the query
Regarding the cold feeling behind the eye, I personally feel it is not a symptom of concern and does not indicate any serious underlying neurological disorder. As the sensation is now only intermittent and is causing problems to your day to day activities, I personally feel neglecting this symptom would make you feel better and get rid of this symptom.
Regarding the recurrence of dystonia after DBS, I think checking the parameters and re-programming if required would benefit you. So I personally advise you to XXXXXXX your Neurologist for the programming.
Thanks again for the query. I hope you found my response to be helpful. If you have any additional concerns i would be happy to address them.
Sincerely,
