eyepatches

One-eyed costume pieces

Eyepatches are patches worn over one eye, typically held in place by a strap or elastic band around the head.

They serve medical purposes—protecting an injured eye or treating amblyopia in children—or purely aesthetic ones, as with the stereotypical pirate's black eyepatch.

He wore an eyepatch after the surgery.
