Should I poke an eye out so I can wear an eyepatch?

No. Just wear an eye patch. Pirates used to do it so that when they went from sunlight to the relative darkness of the inside of a ship, they could flip up the patch and it was easier to adjust to the darkness. At least, that's what they said on Mythbusters.

I'm pretty sure that's false.

 

There's no way you can go around wearing an eye patch if you've got 2 perfectly good eyes.

 

I'd gladly give up depth perception in exchange for being able to go into a dark ship being able to see so all the pirates and ghosts already inside don't get the jump on me.

That's the fun though.

Mythbusters only said it was plausible that they did that, not that they actually did do that.
