The secret behind the Eye Patch!

Apparently Pirates are not all dumb after all. They might have not showered for some time but that is not the point of this post anyways.

Ever wondered why these guys wear an eye patch. it is not always to cover their Cataract eye. It is just that one of the eyes serves as night vision. What more would a person living most of his life on board a ship want. Especially those days when there was no electricity? it is just that these guys have a patch on one eye which would be all closed on deck exposed to bright sunlight. When they wanted to go below the deck, they would swap their eye patch and use the current one as night vision as their Rods( eye optics) are not saturated with the sunlight above.

Slick huh! I was damn impressed.
