Unlikely: I cannot say that it is impossible, but it is very unlikely.

Rare: I have seen eye yeast infection only once in my career in a child undergoing a bone-marrow transplant. It is very rare as your tears are constantly washing things, including yeast spores, out of your eye area if they come near. I would not worry about it at all.
