Hi
I am not a diving medicine doctor, but something that can cause pain similar to that which you are describing (even at the surface) is sinusitis. You could try simple measures such as menthol/steam inhalation to try and relieve things or a short course of decongestants (avoiding pseudoephedrine of course if you are intending to dive on nitrox during this period). Pain from sinuses can be referred to the orbit and surrounding tissues.
Of course it may well be something else, but it might be worth giving it a try.
Its not clear from your original post whether you are suffering visual problems during descent, while you are having pain. If you are , then it doesn't sound like a sinus problem.
