I would get a cat scan of the sinuses.

I just attended a conference where they demonstrated trigeminal symptoms from sphenoid sinus infections. The sphenoid sinus is next to the cavernous sinus where the nerves to the eye and face are.

This is hard to diagnose. And some doctors don't consider it.
There was even a Mystery Diagnosis program on Discovery channel about a young woman who had this. Her presentation was more of acute pain, but it did affect her eye as well.
