Exclamation Meter a alguien algo o alguien por los ojos

Cuando intentamos meter a alguien por los ojos algo o alguien, intentamos que se fije en esa persona o cosa.
English?

Many ways to say that - one possibility is "to call one's attention
to something or to someone". Another might be "to bring something
to someone's attention".

In Spanish it implies for example Mi madre me está metiendo por los ojos la vecina porque piensa que es una chica decente.
