Why pirates wore eye patches??
Most wont care and will think this is stupid but I actually didn't know this till a while back.
Some people think its because they might have had a wounded eye, but most say it was for there vision, and being able to see above decks and below them. pirates quite often moved from above deck to below deck, so they went from daylight to near darkness. Well the patch helped the eye to adapt when switching so they can see. So when the pirate went below deck he could switch the patch to the outdoor eye and see in the darkness easily.
thought's ???
That's IS really interesting. You know these survival flashlights that are super bright... they are used to blind people with night vision and really everyone who is hiding in the dark. Sure they help you see in an emergence but it's tactical too. : )
Good thinking
That is a interesting thought, lol. Actually never thought about that. Might have to look into this.
Do some research :)
I shall do so. ~_^
Interesting. Never thought of it that way 😊 thx for sharing
Seems logical tbh
Makes sense.
I was in a certain meeting one time and a guy came in with a patch. He said there was no wound in his eye but that one of his eyes were weaker than the other. So to strengthen the weaker eye he put the patch on the stronger eye.
Interesting take - never thought of it that way. Do you think this advantage outweighed the disadvantage of losing perspective judgment from both eyes?
Not being able to see the enemy will kill you faster than not knowing how far away he is. The depth perception in the other eye should adjust quickly enough. If nothing else parry until you can get him.
Good point and maybe
Maybe they had Snapchat too
Maybe hahaah
you just saw that on Mythbusters right?
no
then you saw it three years ago when it aired ;-) thanks anyway,.
