I dont know if its officially known by alot of the medical community, but ive seen heavy opiate cause strabismus many times. My exgf was an addict, as were many around me and it was a regular occurance in her. It seems like its caused by extremely high opiate amounts that'd kill a non-addict a few times over. Even in addicts, the only times i saw it was when they were having trouble talking, basically a few short steps from overdosing. I never saw it in people just doing the regular amounts they did every day.

However, it didnt always happen just because they had done alot, and some people seemed to get it more than others.

Once the drugs wore off, their eyes went back to the way they were previously. Ive never seen it happen to anyone long term from opiates, but that doesnt mean there arent some rare cases of it out there.

Does methadone have opiate in them?

I suppose how one could come to this conclusion based on common usage (substitution for heroin) This is definitely not the case. Methadone increases your opiate tolerance possibly more than other common opiates, codeine, oxycodone, etc. This is because methadone is an opiate itself and it shows a very high binding affinity to your opiate receptors, meaning that the methadone attaches more strongly to your "brain" and will, in turn, raise the production of QFQ considerably.So no, Methadone will definitely NOT lower your tolerance to opiate meds or any other opiate for that matter since it is an opiate in itself.
