Likely none: Don't do cocaine. Likely no long term damage. If it persists, get an ophthalmologist to do a thorough exam.

Blocked sinus?: You may have caused inflammation and fluid in your sinus which can cause that type of pain. Please be evaluated by your primary care doctor.

Get an eye exam: There are many substances added to street drugs that can get into your eyes from the bloodstream. A thorough eye exam will ensure that you have not caused any permanent damage. The capillaries inside the eye are very sensitve to talc and other foreign substances that may be in your cocaine. Pure Cocaine is a vasoconstrictor and shrinks down blood vessels.

Other concerns: I would also be worried about carotid artery dissection. It's worth getting evaluated by an md.
