Question: Is it normal for your eyes to hurt after dilation?
Eyes were dilated 2 hours ago and I've got a HUGE headache and actually pain in my left eye. It feels like a throbbing pain and it will not go away. Is this a normal occurrence?

Maybe not normal , but it is quite common.
Personally, I'm useless all evening after an eye exam , because of a terrible headache, and it's close to 24 hours before I can focus up close again.
The same drops and same dosage can affect different people different ways. I really don't like that part of eye exams.
You should start feeling better in a few hours. It will help a lot if you can take a nap.
