To get to the other side?

To get to the other side? Your answer is mildly connected to the real answer. |

Because you want to use your dominant eye.
It also helps you see at night when you take the patch off because that eye is accustomed to darkness.

Night approaches slowly so your uncovered eye adjusts quickly enough. You are on the right track, though. But you want to keep the strength in the dominant eye. Keeping the patch on allows for quicker pupil dilation at night. It also helps you to see in bright sunlight. If you've ever woken up in the middle of the night to pee and gone into the bathroom and flipped the light on, it blinds you. Cover one eye, and you can fully take in and process the visual stimuli. |

Like I say, you are on the right track. Yes, I'm pretty sure that I am. I'm still confident that it has to do with night vision and pupil dilation. If you've ever been out in the snow and it's brilliant, and then go indoors, you're blinded, you can't see. Now if you kept one eye covered, when you go back indoors, or to a dark area (in a house, or a cove if you're a pirate?) your vision will not be impaired. |

Correct, but light levels don't change that quickly when night comes. It's nothing to do with night-time. Not a cove, but what...? |

I would think a cave or cavern where there's no source of external light? Perhaps somewhat below deck (but I'd imagine there's more potential sources of light there). I don't think it has to do with the rate at which the pupils change, but the very fact that one pupil is never constricted, which is going to make you more adept and comfortable seeing in the dark without a light source and focus. |

Certain roles on a ship required the person to go above and below deck frequently, so they wore a patch to keep one eye ready for the relative darkness below deck *. Pirates is a red herring, it applied to all sailors. (* Conjecture only, not historically proven.) |

Is it because of sandwiches? Is that the answer?

You get a response - that should be more than enough reward. (Notice that the perennial fool Hux will not.) |
