I've seen the Right Eye of Horus described as a few things, one is a symbol for health and protection (safety) and another is this: "The Right Eye of Horus represents concrete factual information controlled by the left brain. It deals with words, letters, and numbers and those things which are describable in terms of sentences or complete thoughts. It approaches the universe in terms of male oriented ideation."
Which is the actual meaning? Or do they both describe the meaning of the Eye of Horus?

Also known as the "Udjat" or the "All-Seeing Eye," the Eye of Horus is an ancient symbol associated with the occult science and used in the modern Witchcraft as an amulet for wisdom, prosperity, spiritual protection, good health, the increasing of clairvoyant powers and protection against thieves and the evil eye. In ancient Egypt, the Eye of Horus was one of the most popular and important magickal symbols and was used as a funerary amulet to guard against evil forces and for rebirth in the underworld.
Hope I helped some!

I don't think there's a wrong way to put them on, but you could go for symbolism and have Ra's facing right to symbolize east (because that's where the sun rises) and Horus facing left to symbolize his victory over Set. You might want to do a little more reading, though.

Yes, both of them are describing the "Eye of the Horus".
In the past, Egyptian use in their measurement system is the Eye of Horus which represented a fractional quantification system to measure parts of a whole. The right eye of Ra is resemble the left brain. and the left eye is the right brain.
The eye of horus symbolizes protection and royalty.

The eye of Horus is supposed to represent all six senses. So they are translated to the physical senses of sight, sound, tatse, smell, hearing and also the psychic sense.
The Right eye is of the Sun, so the daytime and waking world. The left eye is of the Moon, so of the emotional and psychic world.
It is the left eye that was torn out by Seth. It was either attached again by Isis, goddess of rebirth and embalming, or Thoth the god of the magical arts, depending on which legend you read.
So the right eye heightens the senses and creativity of this world, but the left eye heightens aware of the occult and magical world. Hence it's use for protection.
The right eye protects and enhances the conscious world of the Masculine
The left eye protects the subconscius world of the Feminine.

"Those who preside over their altars are the similitude of the Eye of Ra, and the similitude of the Eye of Horus. "O Ra-Tem, thou Lord of the Great House"
Like the quote above, all through the "Book of The Dead" you will find reference to the eye of Ra or the eye of Horus. Many are said to have this symbolic eye. Horus lost the eye in a battle with set, but regained it with the help of Isis.

The eye of horus offers protection. The eye of the god is on you and protects you, gives you health as you said and all that. This is the meaning.

It represents the eye of Egyptian sun-god Horus who lost an eye battling Set. Pagans use it as a charm to ward off evil.
Eye of God - Eye of Re - Eye of Horus
Isis = 'I' = Eye = Sirius
The Eye of Horus / Re / God refers to the ancient Mystery School Teachings of Creational Geometry encoded by Isis and Osiris and left behind with their priests in Egypt. These are the same souls who are the priests in Atlantis and other programs. They carry this genetically encoded information in their DNA
Merging of the self - Right/Left Brain - The Eye - 'I'
Eye of Re / Horus links with the Sumerian Gods

The power of chaos and destruction. It has no character and is raw power. If the wrong person got hold of it, it could mean the end of everything.
