I've touched my vagina and then my eyes, could i have gotten herpes?

No: Unless you already have herpes to begin with, you cannot get it by touching your genitals then another part of your body. If you have active herpes and are concerned you may have spread it to your eye by contact, that is also unlikely.

Is it possible to get a yeast infection if you've had a vagina one, and may have touched your eyes without thinking to wash hands after applying medication? I can't decide if severe random allergies or eye infection. No puss. Just red and extremely itchy.
