eye patch

One-eyed disguise piece

An eye patch is a covering worn over one eye, typically held in place by an elastic band around the head.

Eye patches serve medical purposes—protecting an injured eye or treating conditions like amblyopia in children—but are most associated with pirates and the stereotypical image of seafaring rogues: He wore an eye patch and a tricorn hat.
