Autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS) or lupus can cause swelling, or inflammation, behind the eye. This swelling can damage the optic nerve, which transmits visual information from your eyes to your brain. Optic neuritis can cause pain that might feel like pressure or an ache behind your eye. You may also experience:
vision loss in one eye
loss of side vision or color vision
pain that gets worse when you move your eyes
flashing lights when you move your eyes
No one can diagnose multiple sclerosis over the internet. You need to see a doctor for an evaluation to find out what is causing your eye pain.
