Yes it can feel like pressure on your eye. Here are some other symptoms -
Common symptoms of migraine include:
Throbbing or pulsating headache on one side of your head.
Moderate to severe headache intensity.
Worsening of your headache with routine physical activity.
Nausea, vomiting, or both.
Sensitivity to light and noise, and sometimes smells.
It may also be your sinus', a tension headache...

Pressure on your eye sounds more like a sinus headache. Sinus headaches could even be caused by a problem with one of your upper teeth and the root area becomes swollen therefor creating a pressure on your sinus cavity maybe even under your eye. So, if you go to the doctor for headache and they say theres nothing up that they can see try heading over to a dentist just to see.

Migraines are usually centered behind one eye/temple. You MAY also have light and noise sensitivity, nausea, visual effects and vomitting. However, everyone is different and many migraines I have had are different from each other. I remember being sooooo excited when I read that some people complain that their hair hurts because mine did a lot! I would reach for clips and headbands and would find nothing in my hair but it hurt so bad! I also, have slurred speech, memory loss and drooling sometimes.

Muscles get knots called trigger points. These make the muscles tight causing them to press on nerves and other thing.
Pain can be referred from places other than the head.
#1 The first thing is to take a couple swigs of molasses or eat a couple of bananas. They contain magnisium and potassium both of which muscles need.
#2 WATER she should be drinking 1/2 gallon minimum. The head of neurology at UCDavis likens a body running low on water to a car running low on oil (the engine can seize).
Get a good (deep tissue) massage (to loosen the trigger points) on the back, shoulders and neck. Make sure to press up at the base of the skull where it meets the spine.
You rub or lightly scratch everywhere on your head. You will hit spots that are tender these are trigger points. The idea is to rub across them 6-12 times per session up to six times per day until they go away.
For more information on trigger points read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies.

It could be a migraine but a sinus headache or sinus infection can also cause pressure around your eyes.

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck. Headaches can be
caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more
serious reasons like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side
effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information
