Maybe. Only maybe if you are allergic to guinea pigs and that's one of your symptoms. Otherwise I don't think guinea pigs give humans eye's infection.

Yes, because Guinea pigs tread in all sorts of things such as dead organisms and their own excrement. If these things got into a cut, the bacteria would infect it.

Do guinea pig need shots for rabies?

The primary source of an infection with rabies is getting in touch with saliva from an infected fox. The most likely way in which a guinea pig can get in touch with a fox's saliva is by getting bitten by a fox - in which case, the guinea pig is most likely dead, and need no longer worry about a rabies infection. However, in the event of exposure to a possibly infected animal, such as a fox raiding a guinea pig pen and leaving some survivors, you should probably seek advise from a vet. One risk is that the guinea pig has become infected, but the far more serious risk is that you might be infected in turn, by way of handling the guinea pig, disposing of dead (bitten) ones, cleaning out the pen and putting things back in order, etc. Rabies is a highly infectious disease which must be taken very seriously indeed. Touching a mere trace of infected saliva can be enough to contract the disease.
