It's said for a good one.
If you haven't seen someone for sometime you say
'You are a sight for sore eyes' meaning you are really pleased.

It's a good thing. Your eyes are sore, but the sight of this person or thing is soothing or beneficial to them. This phrase is most often used for someone you haven't seen in a long time.
For example, to a man lost in the desert, an oasis would a (good) sight to his (dry) eyes.

Good.
It is a coloqual saying used when you return to or meet somone or somewhere you know or trust.
An example would be a soldier serving in the Gulf. He or she returns to their home or loved one and would declare it or them as a sight for sore eyes, meaning they have missed them.
another case has been demonstrated by Jon R

A SIGHT FOR SORE EYES MEANING EYES SEEING BAD STUFF - MAKING THEM SORE, SO A GOOD THING WOULD BE A GOOD 'SIGHT FOR SORE EYES'
