More recent medical texts have often referred to the eye patch as a ''pirates patch'' and writing in the Minnesota Academy of Sciences Journal in 1934, Charles Sheard of the Mayo foundation, pointed out that by ''wearing a patch (The pirate's patch) over one eye, it will keep the covered eye in a state of readiness and adaptation for night vision''. This technique was explored during WWII by institutes such as the United States Navy.
Based on the above text, what's the best answer to this question: do eye patches help you see in the dark?
yes
