Your eye pain is nothing to do with your tooth extraction. You Need to undergo complete eye checkup with an Ophthalmologist.

Dental extraction can lead to infection and may spread to eye too
It is called orbital cellulitis
It's an urgent issue
Please consult ophthalmologist as soon as possible

Usually, they are not related except in the case where the infection has extended from the wisdom tooth site to your left eyelid via the maxillary sinus which may have left-side cheek tenderness. If so, please consult with an oculoplastic surgeon.
