Those were the pirates of a couple hundred years ago. It's quite different today. Sadly, no parrot either.

Eye patches weren't for blind people, it was to speed up light adjusting between being on deck or below.

Just because Mythbusters said it was plausible doesn't mean this was actually the reason.

If you say so. I know many riflemen did exactly this at the turn of the century so, why would it not have been used earlier?
A pirate with an eyepatch has no depth perception. MAN OVERBOARD. Also GOOD LUCK SWASHBUCKLING when you cant tell the distance of a target.
Right, and absolutely 100% of the time they wore them. That’s absolutely what I said.

The posts were next to each other and I thought it was funny when I was drunk. I figured I’d get a few downvotes
Oh well, I'd probably have done the same in that case lol.
