Not if the misconception is coming from the mind - and I do mean the mind, not the brain. As long as the eye is functioning well, then it would not be responsible for the "misconception" or misperception, whatever. When we interpret what we see or hear or touch we do so using information that we have gleaned from the past. Any of that information can distort what we presently experience and give us a faulty interpretation. Any accident then would be due to inattentiveness to the actuality of the situation.

As other have pointed out, it is the brain's cognitive faculties which cause problems, not the eye.
That stated, do you know that the image which hits the retina of the eye is upside down and the wrong way around?
It's the brain that chooses the correct focal-point, turns the image the right way up and corrects the left to right and vice-versa....even cleverer than the Hubble Telescope!
Don't take drugs or alcohol when you're driving; cognitive eyesight is one of the first things to go askew.

Not the eye but the brain in the way it interprets. Eye can cause only if there is any damage to the eyes or if the eyes r tired out and hazy vision with any growth there etc.

No, your eye only delivers what your brain tells it to see, it is the brain that causes accidents due to misconceptions.
