If it were even possible there is no benefit to doing so. The retina is on the inside of the eye ball on the back wall. The purpose of a lense is to adjust the light prior to it reaching the retina. It cant do that if its behind the eye.
The conjuctiva is a tissue that lines the insides of your eyelids, and connects to and covers most of the sclera, the white of your eye. You’d have to physically puncture this tissue to get behind the eye. In normal ‘operation’ the most you’re likely to do is get down into the area where it folds, which would cause discomfort.
