What can lead to the sharp pain at the back of your eyes when you look into bright light?

Normal or disease: This could just be a normal response to bright light. It could also be due to an eye problem such an inflammation in (called uveitis) - bright lights causes pain. Most pain in or around an eye is from sinusitis or headache. Pain reliever and decongestant should relieve it. If it is getting worse, go see your doctor.
