It is possible to get pink eye that way, because if they just wiped their eye & then held your hand without washing their hands, it can be transferred to you if you then rub your eye. The best way to avoid transmission is to practice good handwashing technicques.
Conjunctivitis(Pink eye) is easy to catch just through touching. You can get conjunctivitis by touching the hand of an infected friend who has touched his or her eyes. If you then touch your eyes, the infection can be spread to you. Washing your hands often with warm, soapy water is the best way to avoid being infected with conjunctivitis.
