Use:
This is colloquial American English. If you're in trouble or having problems, and someone who can help you out shows up out of the blue or just in time, you can call him or her "a sight for sore eyes". Or, if you suddenly run into a friend you haven't seen for a long time and you miss him or her, you can also use the idiom, although this is less common.
