Old scar on eye

I realize this is very vague but perhaps you have some general information regarding my question. On two different occasions, with two different ophthalmologists, my husband was told he had a "scar on his eye." Each time the question of head trauma came up (he did fall from a height of about twenty feet years ago, resulting in an undiagnosed concussion --  he experienced nausea and vomiting for several days post-injury --  and back problems). My husband never asked whether the scar was on the retina, the lens, the cornea, etc. So, does anyone have an idea where those examiners may find such a scar and what may have caused it?
Thank you in advance for any and all efforts.

The scar could literally be anyplace in or on the eye. He needs to call the Eye MD and ask where in the eye the scar is.
