In recent days, the Internet has been flooded with memes about eye color changes, a cosmetic procedure successfully undergone by Cuban artists in Miami such as La Diosa and Osmany García. This aesthetic procedure, which allows brown eyes to be transformed into blue, green, or any other hue, has become trendy in the City of the Sun, although many are skeptical about its long-term effects.
The topic is currently trending among Cubans on social media, who have even "operated" on figures like Chocolate, Mijaín López, Yusuam Palacios, Raúl Castro, and Miguel Díaz-Canel. "I think it's a new virus," stated the "fearful" influencer Kristoff Kriollo in a humorous video shared on his social media, in which he shows how his entire family, including the cat, has changed their eye color, and he ends up fleeing the country.
The topic did not go unnoticed by comedian Javier Berridy, who released a parody with the music of "La mujer del pelotero" in the background, claiming that now "everyone is a model." Even opposition figure Eliécer Ávila didn't want to be left out and recorded a video in which he is seen at home with light-colored eyes—it's a filter—after supposedly having the operation. "What do you think, how do they look? Tell me if you like them," he asked his followers on Instagram.
Even Osmani García, the first famous Cuban to undergo keratopigmentation, shared a video of his wife Laura with fake blue eyes. Days after the popular reggaeton artist changed the color of his eyes and expressed his happiness with his decision, his compatriot Dianelys Alfonso Cartaya, known as La Diosa, surprised her fans with a new look. "Goodbye dark eyes, I am more than happy," the singer expressed on her social media.
The next to possibly take the leap could be Eduardo Antonio, who shared on his Instagram three photos in which he appears with different eye colors, using a filter to simulate the change, and asked his fans for their opinion on the potential transformation.
