Yes. As with any exposed part of the body, the eyeballs can become frostbitten or frozen in cold weather or if directly exposed to very cold liquid or vapourized chemicals (e.g., an industrial accident). It is very unusual for the eyes to become frostbitten, because they are recessed in warm sockets and can be covered by the eyelids. In the outdoors, your nose, ears, and cheeks would become frostbitten well before your eyes would.
