Pics would help. 
It could be an ulcer, which would be visible on the surface of the eye, and be unaffected in size and shape no matter the dilation of the pupil. I would expect the rabbit to act painful (squint) and a clear or yellow/green discharge.
If it is only visible in the pupil itself, and looks like a cataract it could be pasteurella- I had a rabbit that had an abscess in the eye itself, and it was diagnosed as such by a vet.
If it is an ulcer/scratch, treat with a non-steroidal ophthalmic antibiotic- if it resembles a cataract, I would cull, as in kill. I would not keep the rabbit as a pet nor re-home it.

Also, how long have you had the rabbit, and has it had the spot in its eye since before you got it?
