Depends upon the location, severity, frequency, any associated symptoms or findings, medical history and more. So, not a simple answer. See an eye doctor.

Your eyes should never hurt. Any pain should prompt medical attention.
Eye pain is a non-specific symptom with causes ranging from dry eye, irritation, to less commonly high intraocular pressure. You should visit your ophthalmologist for a complete examination to find out the reason for your ocular pain.
