Abstract

To investigate general misconception on the eye problems, we have reported the misconception of students of middle school, high school and college for the first report. For its etiological study, we studied the false descriptions on the eye problems in the textbooks of primary school, middle school and high school. We found the false descriptions in terminology, causes of the myopia, contact lens and conjunctivitis(Trachoma). The result suggests that the main causes of misconception on the eye problems of students are the false descriptions on the textbooks of primary school, middle school and high school.
