The patch can be worn over either eye, according to personal preference and comfort. It is not see-through. An added benefit of wearing even this Satin Pirate Eye Patch is that eye patches make anyone look tough, and when you are dressed up as a pirate, looking tough is definitely a good thing.

Modern eyepatch
My father had served in the First Marine Division in World War II, surviving the Peleliu and Okinawa invasions, two of the most savage battles of the war. One of his fellow platoon members later informed me that his division received a Presidential Unit Citation for each of those battles. My father did not bring his medals or citations home, nor when I was young did he ever talk to me of his war experiences. I had always had an awareness of the dangers he faced and survived, and I realize now that in writing my letter of appeal in 1957 for classification other than IV-F, well before I knew of the Presidential Unit Citations, I was guided by the sense that I needed to take his example of service as a model.

The way we view pirates today dates back to the Robert Louis Stevenson book “Treasure Island.” First published in 1883, this book was released well after the golden age of piracy on the high seas, so Stevenson’s depiction of pirates is probably inaccurate at best, and pure fabrication at worst.

Eye surgery – Operations like cataract surgery that cut into the eye may require an eye patch for a designated period of time.

It’s also commonly believed that mariners wore a gold earring in order to pay for a funeral on land, rather than to be buried at sea. However, there is very little evidence within the historical record of either being worn.
