Headache: Because your eyes are directly connected to your brain sometimes headaches will caus e eye pain. Migraine headaches can cause eye pain and so can tension headaches.

Referred pain: The most common cause for headache feeling like it is in the eyes is from referred pain( sensation because of proximity of nerves to eyes) other more significant causes are possible however.
