Why do Pirates wear eye patch πŸ‘πŸ‘??



Whenever we think of Pirates we think of Johnny Depp , skeleton , large ship and invariably the  eye patch. Many think it might be because while having a ruthless combat pirates might have lost an eye or it is fashion statement. 

Come Lets find the Science behind the eye patch ….

I hope we all might have had a dizzy star Tom and Jerry moment while we got out off theatre. Our eye has a dark central black dot "Pupil" which alters the amount of light entering the eye. With the help of eye ciliary muscles it constricts in bright light and dilates on dim light.

This process of adaptation to the environment by the eye is called EYE ADAPTATION. This process takes time upto 20 minutes for completion. 

Pirates have to fight above and below the deck so they adapt one eye completely to darkness for emergency.

So the final verdict is that whether a Pirate is good at robbing or not they have to wear an eye patch.
