You are at about the age when the lens in the eye is not so easily compressed, but usually that would be picked by the ophthamologist or optician, it is possible that you might have pain from changes in the blood vessels impacting a nerve. This can frequently cause migraines. I suggest seeing a neurologist. Best wishes.

Pain is a very nonspecific symptom and frequently difficult to localize. If it occurs while reading and improves when you stop, it could be strain needing readers. If it is made worse by opening and closing your eye, it is likely the cornea. If it is not and is unaccompanied by any visual symptoms, it is not likely to be related to any serious eye issue. In that event, it could be a sinus issue
