English translation:Good news/I have good news + Person's name
Explanation:
This expression in Turkish is used to indicate that "something nice happened". It would of course be even better to know what that "something" is for context, but I think the translation I provided would hold in most cases.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Unfortunately, I have no other context. The message was simply "(Person's name) gözümüz aydın" -- I don't know if it makes a difference if the name comes before the phrase or after it. Thanks for your help!
