If the eyes are not yellow it may be due to excess carotene containing foods which is harmless.

Colour will fade if veg like sweet potato, carrot papaya reduced/stopped for a few days

Its called carotenemia due to excess vitamin A in diet. Avoid carrots and papaya. It should settle.
But please consult a pediatrician to be sure its not jaundice
