This study aimed to determine the prevalence of accommodative insufficiency (AI) and convergence insufficiency (CI) and examine their association with myopia severity among young adult myopic patients aged 18\u201326 years at the Vision and Eye Care Center, Centro Escolar University-Manila. A quantitative retrospective cross-sectional design was employed using 159 clinical records equally distributed among low, moderate, and high myopia groups. Accommodative function was assessed using Near Point of Accommodation (NPA), Amplitude of Accommodation (AA), and Positive Relative Accommodation (PRA), while vergence function was evaluated through Near Point of Convergence (NPC), phoria, Positive Fusional Vergence (PFV), and Accommodative Convergence\/Accommodation (AC\/A) ratio. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests were used for data analysis. Accommodative insufficiency was identified in 40.9% of the participants, while convergence insufficiency was observed in 32.7%. No significant association was found between accommodative insufficiency and myopia severity (\u03c7\u00b2 = 1.613, p = .446). However, convergence insufficiency demonstrated a significant association with myopia severity (\u03c7\u00b2 = 7.944, p = .019), with the highest frequency occurring among patients with high myopia. These findings highlight the importance of comprehensive binocular vision assessment in young adult myopic patients, particularly those with higher levels of myopia.<\/p><p><strong>Keywords<\/strong>: <em>myopia severity, accommodative insufficiency, convergence insufficiency, binocular vision, vergence dysfunction, young adult myopes.<\/em><\/p><p>    <style>\n        #bplde-embed-1 {\n            width: 100%;\n            height: 600px;\n        }\n        @media (max-width: 991px) {\n            #bplde-embed-1 {\n                width: 100%;\n                height: 600px;\n            }\n        }\n        @media (max-width: 767px) {\n            #bplde-embed-1 {\n                width: 100%;\n                height: 600px;\n            }\n        }\n    <\/style>\n\n    <div class=\"bplde-document-embed-frontend\"\n         id=\"bplde-embed-1\"\n         data-attributes=\"{&quot;docId&quot;:23842,&quot;documentSource&quot;:{&quot;doc&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/saera.eu\\\/en\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/10\\\/2.-Nacario-Jaica-A.-2026.-Myopia-Severity-and-Its-Association-with-Convergence-and-Accommodative-Insufficiencies-Implications.pdf&quot;,&quot;viewer&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;googleDrive&quot;:false},&quot;toolbar&quot;:{&quot;showName&quot;:false,&quot;download&quot;:false,&quot;_de_download_position&quot;:&quot;toolbar&quot;,&quot;theme&quot;:&quot;dark&quot;,&quot;toolbar_bg_color&quot;:&quot;#343434&quot;,&quot;toolbar_text_color&quot;:&quot;#ffffff&quot;},&quot;displayDimensions&quot;:{&quot;width&quot;:{&quot;desktop&quot;:&quot;100%&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;:&quot;100%&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;:&quot;100%&quot;},&quot;height&quot;:{&quot;desktop&quot;:&quot;600px&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;:&quot;600px&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;:&quot;600px&quot;}},&quot;securityRestrictions&quot;:{&quot;disablePopout&quot;:false,&quot;loading_icon&quot;:false},&quot;downloadManagement&quot;:{&quot;downloadButtonText&quot;:&quot;Download&quot;,&quot;_de_download_behavior&quot;:&quot;download&quot;,&quot;_de_download_filename&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;_de_download_show_count&quot;:false,&quot;_de_download_limit&quot;:0,&quot;_de_download_access&quot;:&quot;everyone&quot;,&quot;_de_download_access_roles&quot;:[],&quot;_de_download_access_message&quot;:&quot;Access Denied&quot;,&quot;_de_email_gate&quot;:false},&quot;lightbox&quot;:{&quot;lightbox&quot;:false,&quot;lightbox_btn_text&quot;:&quot;View Document&quot;,&quot;lightbox_btn_color&quot;:&quot;#ffffff&quot;,&quot;lightbox_btn_background&quot;:&quot;#333333&quot;,&quot;lightbox_btn_size&quot;:&quot;medium&quot;}}\"\n         data-user=\"{&quot;isLoggedIn&quot;:false,&quot;userRoles&quot;:[],&quot;limitReached&quot;:false,&quot;downloadCount&quot;:0}\"\n         data-plugin-url=\"https:\/\/saera.eu\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/document-emberdder\/\"\n         data-post-id=\"23842\">\n        <div class=\"bplde-loading-placeholder\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; background: #f5f5f5; border: 1px solid #ddd; border-radius: 4px;\">\n            <p>Loading Viewer&#8230;<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/p><p>Download the full Research Work:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/saera.eu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2.-Nacario-Jaica-A.-2026.-Myopia-Severity-and-Its-Association-with-Convergence-and-Accommodative-Insufficiencies-Implications.pdf\">Nacario, Jaica A.
