Texture appear grey in viewport but render fine

Hey everyone, sorry to bother ya, but after looking around on the forum I saw no subject that could help me.

I found a new texture for my genesis 2 female figure, that change her eyes color, with a button to click and it activate on its own.
Problem is:
When I click the button, the eyes of my figure turn grey, every surface of them.

So I went to render to see what it showed me, and I discovered it does render just fine, but the viewport only show me grey.
It's very unpractical for me since I can't see what variation I make, if I modify the diffuse strength etc...

So if anyone know why that happen, and how to solve it, I'd be very thankful
have a nice one!

    Most likely this is a procedural shader and will not show up until it is rendered. What product/shader is it?

    oh well yes, there you go Procedural shaders so no you will not be able to see anything until you render.

    I set up the eyes, direction etc first then I load the material presets. All the previous Actual Eyes do this so I am not surprised 4 does as well.
