Horus is the god of the sky, and his eyes represent the sun and the moon respectively. Horus' right eye is related to the sun god Ra (Ra), symbolizing the intact sun, which has the power to stay away from pain and overcome evil. 


And Horus' left eye symbolizes the incomplete moon, which can distinguish good from evil and defend happiness. According to legend, Horus had his left eye taken away by Seth during a fight with his father-killing enemy Seth. Later, with the help of the Moon God, after a desperate struggle, he finally defeated Seth and regained his left eye. Horus dedicated this lost eye to his father who is a god of underworld.
