Why does it take a few minutes for your eyes to adjust to darkness?
In: Biology
Fun fact: That’s why you’ll see pirates depicted as wearing an eye patch. Most would assume it’s due to a battle wound (ala the “peg leg”) but, in fact, it’s to quickly go between the brightness of the deck to the darkness of below decks. Keep one eye patched when in brightness, switch the patch to the other eye when you go below and the previously patched pupil is already dilated.
