   Eye Patch was, allegedly, used by sailors so that they could put it over one of their eyes, shortly before going below decks, so that they would be able to see in the dim light when they switchaed it to the other eye.

      In fact it has a lot of signs of a ‘Forced Meme’, a meme generated by multiple postings and references and then repeated by allies or sockpuppets. It even has a Wikipedia talk-page debating the subject despite there being zero historical references to the practice.
      An internet urban myth if you will.
