This is not a new idea. We have been informed from early on that the virus can be contracted through the eyes. There was a physician early on in the pandemic who claimed he contracted the virus through his eyes on an airplane. He claims to have been protected with a mask the entire flight. I'm not sure but I think he said he wore an N95 mask on the flight.
