Important warning note: Making any changes at all to eyes and hairs, even adding new ones in a new race, will make your mod incompatible with other mods that do so.  Main culprits include Ren's Beauty Pack, Capucine's Eye Textures, and the Cosmetic Compilation (which contains both of the above).  The creators of that mod generally will give permission for you to merge their mods with yours if you give them credit, so don't hesitate to contact them about this option.

Alternately, you can warn modders to use Tes4Plugin to merge all their appearance mods when using yours.  Either way, you should always, ALWAYS give a compatibility warning in your readme if you add new eyes and hair.
