He\u2019d initially been hesitant to take them into game action, noting a \u201cfish-bowl\u201d effect he felt while wearing them, but said he has since adjusted by using them even when he\u2019s away from the field.<\/p>\n<p>Muncy isn\u2019t the first Dodger player to begin utilizing glasses midseason.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Kik\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez\u00a0did the same thing\u00a0after discovering astigmatism (a condition caused by imperfections in the curvature of the eye that can impact vision) in his own right eye.<\/p>\n<p>Like Muncy, Hern\u00e1ndez described an adjustment period when his glasses arrived midseason.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt took me like a week or two to really feel like my depth perception felt normal,\u201d Hern\u00e1ndez recalled.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike Muncy, Hern\u00e1ndez began wearing them in games as soon as they arrived.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t be afraid to fail,\u201d he quipped.<\/p>\n<p>Fail, Hern\u00e1ndez did not. Before last year\u2019s All-Star break, Hern\u00e1ndez was batting .191 with just five home runs in 71 games, wearing glasses for only the final series of the opening half. After the break, once his eyesight adjusted to his new lenses, Hern\u00e1ndez finished the year batting .274 with seven home runs in his final 55 games. He then proceeded to have a monster postseason (.294 average, two home runs, six RBIs) during the Dodgers\u2019 run to a\u00a0World Series title.<\/p>\n<div class=\"enhancement\" data-click=\"enhancement\" data-align-center=\"\">\n<div class=\"promo promo-position-small promo-small\" data-module-id=\"00000196-9339-d593-a3bf-d7f91ec80000\" data-promotable-id=\"00000196-87e1-d01f-afd6-97f582e70000\" data-content-type=\"longForm\" data-show-img=\"\" data-click=\"promoSmall\">\n<div class=\"promo-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"promo-media\" data-click=\"media\"><a class=\"link promo-placeholder\" href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/sports\/dodgers\/story\/2025-04-30\/dodgers-marlins-oldest-position-players-load-management\" aria-label=\"Shaikin: The Dodgers are good, and old.
