Could be several things. For starters - get a general eye check-up with ophthalmologist to make sure you don't have any eye diseases. Now after that - if you still have unexplained pains around and behind eyes - you can begin looking into other non-ocular causes like sinus problems, trigeminal neuralgia, cluster headaches, migraine headaches. This type of complaint can be very difficult to to unravel. But you have to start somewhere - so again see ophthalmologist for starters and you may even need to see neurologist and get head and sinus CT scans possibly if no answers can be found.
