Did You Know?
Many thought pirates wore patches over their eyes to cover up one that was injured, but new theories suggest it could be that by wearing an eye patch their eyes could adjust quickly to the dark. This allowed them to see during the night and down below deck because their eye was already adjusted to the darkness, allowing less time for it to get refocused.
