I'd theorise that it's related to eyes being considered the mirror of the soul. Eyepatch like that tends to make you feel that the character is also has a messed up inside making them mysterious.

When I was a child I was supposed to wear an eye patch to help correct my weaker eye, but then my optometrist died and it never happened.

Would it be worth trying now? Or is it too late?
