Hi welcome to the health care magic
You are telling that it seems to be yellow eyes in your son...
As he is having hepatitis c infection for yellow eye jaundice or hemolysis should be ruled out...
For which following investigation can be done....
-Serum bilirubin estimation
-Peripheral smear blood examination and CBC with reticulocyte count
-Serum LDH
If these reports are normal then no worry regarding jaundice
Let us provide reports done in past for giving more comment
Hope your concern solved
Take care
