Why do pirates cover their eyes?
They don't have one eye missing, that's why! You are erroneous if, like us, you believed that eye patches are worn by pirates because they are blind. Eye patches were actually used by pirates to improve their night vision.
It can take up to 25 minutes for our eyes to adjust effectively from light to dark. Pirates were already accustomed to wearing an eye patch over one eye at all times. A pirate would just switch their eye patch over whenever they walked below ship, and presto! They have night vision!
Thank you for watching!
