Yes and no.

There are not many blood vessels to supply oxygen to the eye. This is to keep the eye clear so we can see. The eye works around this by absorbing tears that have dissolved the oxygen in the air. The eye also gets its nutrients this way.

So they eyes do not get their oxygen directly from the air but from tears that have dissolved oxygen directly from the air.
