While transmission could be possible, tears are probably the body fluid least likely to harbor the virus. Tears contain both salt and components that actively fight against microorganisms of all kinds. Out of all the microbes that your eyes come in contact with nearly constantly, only a few can survive long enough or in sufficient quantities to cause an infection.
