I use the eyepatch to indicate that the character is in some way disabled.
Since medicine was not particularly good back then, damage from combat,
illnesses, and plague/infections often caused infirmities which lasted a
lifetime.
It's easy to show a missing arm or leg with a minifig, but harder to show bones
which were not set properly, organs which are not functioning well (too much
alcohol, perhaps, or heart troubles, or cancer), or degenerative diseases of
the mind and body (scurvy and other common malnutrition, hemophilia from
inbreeding, Alzheimer's, sickle-cell anemia, Down's syndrome, multiple
sclerosis, Lou Gherig's disease...).
I apologize if this post turned out to be exceedingly morose.
