No, the cornea is too small in terms of wavelength to effectively refract,
focus radio waves... Plus there is the issue of the low refractive index
of the lens at radio frequencies, even were it were large enough...
That's not to say that radio waves cannot cause heating damage to the
tissues of the cornea and the retina, even if unfocused, as they pass
through your body...
The millimeter wavelengths - including your microwave oven - can certainly
heat damage body tissues, ask any hotdog...
But a discussion of that has to include the wavelengths involved, the
intensity of the radio field at that point in space, the temporal length of
exposure, etc... Too big a topic for this type of forum, but radar
technicians have accidently had eye damage from looking into a working
antenna...
Interestingly, or maybe not ham radio operators have to fill out an
engineering form that quantifies the level of exposure to radiation of
people near to their antennas and file it with the government... If you
have more than a passing interest in that item let me know and I'll refer
you to the relevant literature...

in my
eye was at that moment focusing powerful radio waves onto my retina.
