Eye lid drooping with sharp pain behind eye indicate neuronal issue with compromised function of extra occular muscles controlling the eye lid retraction as levator palpabrae superioris as well as blood supply of eye ball via retinal artery.
A detailed physical examination of nerves, ophthalmometry and relevant MRI or else are required to proceed for the query.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you all the best.
