Jonesy, if it's just one eye on one fish, then it's usually caused by an injury. Discus do tend to dart around when being caught and transferred, and it's possible the fish bumped into something.

Just to be sure, do a pH test and make sure your water hasn't dropped below 6.5. If it's good, then just add a mild salt solution (1 teaspoon per 40 litres) to the water to aid the healing.

Most eyes clear up without leaving any scar on the eye at all.
