Background: To determine the prevalence of accommodative and convergence anomalies and their related factors in a population of male young adults with opioid use disorder (OUD). Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted using a convenience sampling method in 2019. The study sample included male young adults with OUD who had been referred to a specialised drug-dependence rehabilitation centre in Mashhad, Iran. The diagnosis of OUD was made by a psychologist based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) criteria. All patients underwent complete optometric examinations. Results: Eighty male young adults with OUD were included in this study. The mean age of participants was 30.5 +/- 3.9 years (age range 19 to 35 years). The prevalence of accommodative and convergence disorders was 33.75% (95% CI: 23.55-45.19) and 25.00 (95% CI: 15.99-35.94), respectively. Accommodative insufficiency (22.5%, 95% CI: 13.91-33.21) had a higher prevalence than accommodative excess (3.75%, 95% CI: 0.78-10.57) and accommodative infacility (7.50%, 95% CI: 2.80-15.61). Convergence insufficiency (18.75%, 95% CI: 10.89-29.03) had a higher prevalence compared to convergence excess (3.75%, 95% CI: 0.78-10.57) and basic exophoria (2.50%, 95% CI: 0.30-8.74). According to the multiple logistic regression, a significant inverse relationship was observed between pupil size with accommodative insufficiency (OR = 0.45), accommodative infacility (OR = 0.67), and convergence insufficiency (OR = 0.55). Conclusion: The results of the present study showed a higher prevalence of some accommodative and convergence disorders in OUD patients compared to the prevalence reported in previous studies conducted on the normal populations with a similar age range.
