Not really: If the pain went away then its gone. If the pain persist or your vision changes then you need to see an eye doctor.

A few possibilities: This could be due to allergies, dry eyes, or eye infection or sinusitis. The treatments are very different. You need an eye exam. For allergies, zaditor (ketotifen) is a good otc eye medicine. For dry eyes, lubricating tears are necessary. For infection, usually of the eyelids, start with eyelid warm compress and diluted baby shampoo scrubs. You should have a baseline exam with your eye doctor.
