Jess was born with cataracts in both eyes. Considering brain-expectant plasticity, which is the best course of action?
A) Take no action until Jess is at least 5 years of age. The brain is highly adaptive and no significant impact to the brain will occur.
B) Take action at 2 to 3 years of age, after monitoring the effect of the cataracts on vision over time, but before preschool begins.
C) Take no action, as the brain will adapt to the cataracts and can disrupt the specialized fine-tuning of neural connections.
D) Remove the cataracts after age 3 years and provide specialized brain exercises to improve functioning.
E) Remove the cataracts during infancy, as removing them after infancy increases the chance of visual impairments.
