Would you explain about this easily that "You're a sight for detachable eyes!"?



-You would not believe...!
What I’ve been through...! Tonight!
-Darling...! Are you okay?
-I feel fresh! Healthy!
It’s terrible!
-You’ve lost weight! And so tall!
-Ahhh, you’re a sight for detachable eyes!
---------------------------------------

I can't see what this means. Would you explain about this easily?
