It's probably decided by your birth in a family. But when you grow up, your tastes will evolve. There is absolutely no difference between the teeth of a herbivore human and carnivore human.
BTW Humans are omnivores.

It is NOT decided by either eyes or teeth, it is decided by what you eat.
Of course, having a digestive system that can process plants or meat does you no good if you don't have the proper teeth to cut the type of food that you need -- so scientists look at the teeth of extinct animals as a clue to what they ate.
As others here have noted, Humans are omnivores since we eat both plants and meat.

Omnivore... It's decided by what are they eat (human can eat everything)
herbivore : plant eater
carnivore: meat eater
omnivore: eat everything

we are omnivores as we eat both plants and meat. The teeth would have more to do with it than the eyes, but there would be alot more contributing factors than just the eyes or teeth.

omnivore and its decided by the teeth..we have all 3 types of teeth eg incisors and molars for cuting and grinding plant matter and 4 canines for tearing meat.
Technically we should be prodominantly vegetarian food, but need meat to suppliement our diet. Our digestive system would need to be longer to live soley on vegetable material (without suppliments) .

Omnivore. We can eat both meat and vegetables. Although some people choose not to eat meat.
