Historically, pirates and sailors may have worn
eye
patches to help their vision quickly adjust to light and dark. Going back and forth from the brightness of the upper ship deck to the pitch darkness below deck frequently resulted in their eyes having to constantly readjust themselves. Wearing an
eye
patch
meant that a pirate already had one
eye
adjusted to darkness and the other adjusted to the light. This probably saved valuable time, allowing pirates to go quickly from one level to the next without being temporarily blinded until their eyes adjusted.
When amblyopia is left untreated beyond childhood, the outcome could be blindness in the affected
eye
or severe problems with
depth perception
. The use of an
eye
patch
on the unaffected
eye
forces the affected
eye
to focus, which frequently leads to complete vision correction.
