Eye pain after hitting head?

My daughter who just turned 3 fell while running and hit her head on a cement floor. Then a 1/2 hour later she fell out of a bounce house head first. I called the doctor and they said to watch for 24 hours. This happened on Tuesday afternoon, then yesterday (Wednesday) she told me her eye hurt. I looked at it and it was clear and not red or watery. I thought maybe she had dust in it and told her to blink. She did not say anything for the rest of the afternoon or evening. After my husband put her to bed she start crying that her eye hurt. My husband said she mentioned something when he was tucking her in but they looked fine. I went and checked they were fine. She went to sleep and first thing when she woke up she told me her eye still hurt. She is playing fine and will say once in a while her eye hurts but she does not seem in a lot of pain. Not sure what to do, I do not know if the pain is related to her hitting her head or what is going on. Just looking for some advice.

Update:

She does not watch any TV or video, so that was something I did not know where she would of gotten it. My husband and I have not had anything happen with our eyes where we said they hurt. I know when my hip hurts and say something she will repeat it. We both have glasses and I got mine in 6th grade and my husband has had his so long he does not remember. I eye issue could very well be the issue and it is coincidence. I called the Dr and talked to a nurse and she is going to talk to the doctor to see what they think

    Better safe than sorry. With heads if you are concerned and think she needs a Dr you are right. Eye pain is one of the first question my Papa as an emt would ask. That could meen swelling and that it is pushing against the eye. It may very well be unrelated. She could be mimicking a tvshow and wanting more mommy concern. CUZ that always feel good. OR she may need glasses. Just a thought. Or maby it is the swelling. I would take her. Any ways what kid do sent like a dr office. lol Yeah I know they don't.
