Depends on the cause: Not enough details here to go on as many things can cause eye pain and headaches. Best way to find out is to go in for an eye exam to make the source of your headache is not from your eyes. Good luck.

Need glasses?: Or maybe your eyes have poor convergence? Sinus disease? Depends on when you get it, your age etc.

All non-infectious/cancer pain IS caused by muscle and/or connective tissue (Myofascial) until proven otherwise. The way to prove this is by relentlessly treating it with myofascial therapies. All myofascial pain is treatable! Janet G. Travell, M.D., George Stuart Hackett, M.D., C. Chan Gunn, M.D., David G. Simons and many other respected pioneers in myofascial pain. Here is a list of the most powerful myofascial therapy in order of complexity. Massage, Wellness, Stretching, Spray and Stretch, Chiropractic manipulations, acupuncture, IMS, trigger points injections.

Yes: Tension headaches usually affect the muscles in the neck and head. This can sometimes result in a pressure-type pain seemingly in the eye on the affected side. If you are having vision loss or eye redness with the pain, that could indicate something else. You should be seen by an ophthalmologist to be sure.

Dry eye: When you read or use a computer screen for a prolonged period, your blink rate decreases and your eyes dry eye out.

Maybe a cluster HA: There is a such thing as a cluster headache which feels like a sharp pain coming from behind the eye. It may help to know if you have other symptoms of a cluster headache. Do they re-occur at the same time of the day for many days in a row?
Otherwise, it could be something about your eye, or it could be a migraine. It's a good idea to talk to someone about it if this cannot give you the answer
