  Yes, it is very possible for you to get eye irritation from ear infection because of the interlinked nerves between eyes and ears. When you get the ear infection, the whole body nerves will be affected. Your eyes will easily get infected through the indirect influence. You'd better treat the ears as soon as possible to avoid the eyes problems.
