The word '目' (me) means 'eye', and '輝かせる' (kagayakaseru) is the causative form of '輝く' (kagayaku), meaning 'to shine' or 'to sparkle'. So, literally, it means 'to make one's eyes shine'. This phrase has been used in Japanese for centuries to describe a person's eyes lighting up due to strong emotions like excitement, joy, or keen interest. While pinpointing an exact 'origin date' for such a descriptive phrase is difficult, its components are ancient and commonly used. The concept of eyes reflecting inner emotions is universal, and this particular phrasing is a natural development in the Japanese language to express this sentiment. There isn't a specific historical event or external borrowing that led to its creation; rather, it evolved organically from the existing vocabulary.
