Mythbusters tested a theory that pirates wore eyepatches so their eyes would adjust quickly when they went from bright outside to dark holds in ships. I think they determined it was plausible.
Mythbusters theorized (and proved) that that was the reason for pirates to wear eye patches. They’d switch the patch to the uncovered eye when in the dark spots in the ships, then they could see better.
For husband and I sit further back in a movie theater if and when we go, I sit on the end so I can do what I need and try not to climb over anyone, while waiting I can see well enough to read a book.

Oh they joy of walking into a theater and having to wait by the door until your eyes adjusted to the dark.

Just what every old person needs, a seeing eye grandkid.
