May be viral: Need to see both Dentist and Ophthalmologist for proper diagnosis and treatment. Lesions may have same cause, or different causes with coincidental time of outbreak.

Eyelid?: Canker sore does not occur at the eyelids and thus they are likely different issues. If I were to guess, a viral infection would be a more likely scenario. If problem persists for more than 2 weeks or gets worse, see doctor.
