You've got the blindfold left-right mixed up. It's the right eye that is blindfolded and left that is open, post-Great Crusade: http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Aquila?file=IoMhighres.png
Why is explained here:
This is probably related to where the Aquila was often borne at the time: on the left shoulder of power armor. The reasoning is similar to how US and other armed forces soldiers wear a reversed flag on the right shoulder[www.united-states-flag.com] so that the flag always appears to be flying forward in relation to the soldier. When worn on the left shoulder, the left eye of the aquila is facing forward in relation to the space marine's front or future, and the right is his back or past. That's why it doesn't follow the typical left is past / right is future orientation we expect in timelines or in latin languages.
Thanks for the clarification. :)
