By "pressure behind an eye," I'm going to assume that what is meant is pressure inside the eye. Eye pressure (intraocular pressure) is controlled by a watery fluid called aqueous humour, which fills the front part of the eye. Any condition that affects the drainage or production of the eye fluids can cause an increase in eye pressure. In addition, brain disorders and hemorrhagic eye injuries can also cause elevation of eye pressures and associated pain. Any increase in ocular pressure deserves assessment by an ophthalmologist.
