After touching genitals with hpv then washing hands and then rubbing eyes, is it possible to infect the eyes with hpv by this route?

No worry. Vaccinate.: Gardasil-9 vaccine prevents infection from the worst strains of HPV virus that cause cervical cancer, genital warts, anal warts, and anal cancer due to those strains. The protective antibodies one produces from the vaccine flow in her bloodstream everywhere, including to the eyes. HPV viruses have location preferences, meaning they don't tend to stay in locations they aren't meant to be in.
