Given the significance of showing the eye itself activating in its own panel, its safe to assume that Boruto's eye is special and likely because of Boruto's heritage and the way it looks its likely a Byakugan. The eye markings wasn't there until Boruto activated Sage Transformation Eye emphasis is not exclusive to dojutsu, as shown in many instances of Naruto using degrees of Kurama's chakra and people activating Sage Mode. If Himawari can activate normal-looking Byakugan then there's no reason that Boruto's Byakugan would look and manifest differently
