It looks like the Alpha maps for the hair (and eyelashes) has been misplaced during import.
In conventional Cinema materials they get put into the Transparency channel instead of the Alpha channel. I just cut and paste the path from there to the Alpha channel. You'll probably find the same thing going on in the Octane materials. You should check this for all materials which might be using an alpha map, it also may be the answer to the pupil/cornea problem you've got.
You need to adjust the materials. FBX just transfers a view maps.
You need to assign the transmap, bump map, normal map, specularity map and so on. This is all lost unfortunately.
This will also solve the problems with the lashes.
i tried manuallyassigning the texture but that's not helping ! maybe i'm doing wrong ! one more thing, there are no bump, spec, normal map in the folder. if anyone is willing to help in a little bit detailed way, that'll be very helpful ! i'm noob to software so can't help it ! don't know about alpha and trans map ! sorry for bothering again !
Here's a tutorial I did a few years ago. It used eyelashes as an example, but the general method should still work:
