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 and the false descriptions on the eye problems in the textbooks of primary school, middle school and high school. As the third report, we have investigated the errors on the ophthalmic problems which were found on the health related books sold on the bookstore. We found the errors in 27 books among about 50 books. The errors about the myopia were the most prevalent(in 10 books) among them.
