I have read that there are those really serious folks who do wear an eyepatch on their observing eye throughout the previous daylight hours!
I found:-
"This is a very short chapter on dealing with local lights (ie street lights). They have a really neat idea in here that I have tried, and it actually works. They recommend wearing a pirates eye patch over your observing eye. This keeps that eye dark adapted. When observing through the scope put a towel over your head, remove the patch. After observing put the patch back on and remove the towel. And yes they do concede that you will look like an idiot. After reading this I decided to take it a step further. I wear the patch over the one eye while inside about an hour before I go out so that the one eye will be adapted before I even step outside (and yes my wife does make fun of me)."
