STDs: The term means that the condition was transmitted sexually, and sex is not limited to vaginal penetration. If she got infected semen into her eyes while performing oral or hand sex with a boyfriend this could occur. If she was with another woman, this could occur through oral sex.

Yes: The most common stds in the eyes are chlamydia, gonorrhea, and lice. If a person touches an infected body part or secretions from an infected part and then rubs her eye, she can transmit the infection to her eye. Also, performing oral sex can put the eye in close enough proximity to acquire the infection. Technically, one could still be a virgin.
