Can Gonorrhea be spread through eyeliner

Hi, My friend recently found out she has Gonorrhea.  I used her eyeliner straight after she used it and im concerned that i may have it now as i have read that Gonorrhea can be in the eye's and i used the eye liner inside my eye!
Does anybody know anything regarding my concern?  Should i go and get tested?  I know that Gonorrhea is a STD but im still very concerned as i did read that it was in the eye!
Please help..

Because gonorrhea affects the area of infection and when it comes to sex that is normally the vagina, anal cavity or mouth. Unless your friend got ejaculatory fluid in her eye then she would not have it in her eye (and even that would be rare).

And STD's are not passed from enviromantal objects.

Also you found out that she had gonorrhea, I am sure she was treated for it. It is very curable.

The exposure that you describe is not a risk for gonorrhea..
