STD can affect the eyes and health of the child. There are sometimes that affect the eyes if it is born natural. There are the ones that affect through the blood. I hope it is not the one through the blood because this one is the most dangerous one. If the pregnancy is six weeks old then she can receive some medications to prevent it from becoming infected. All the Best.
