Chronic headaches and eye pain in 6-year-old?

My 6-year-old daughter has been experiencing chronic headaches and eye pain. I'm not sure of what it could be from, especially since there's nothing in her eye. Could this be from nerve damage?

Children get chronic headaches due to many causes but transformed/atypical migraine and rebound headaches due to overuse of medication are common.Ideally a detailed history and examination by a pediatric neurologist and MRI if needed would differentiate the common benign conditions from the less common in most cased
