Hello,
Sharp or sudden pain in the eye is usually due to debris in or around the eye. It's commonly described as an aching, stabbing, or burning feeling within the eye itself. Sharp pain can also be caused by more serious conditions such as uveitis or glaucoma. Therefore do not take it lightly and do consult your eye specialist at the earliest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
