Ann's primary visual cortex is responsible for processing visual information from the eyes, so if it is completely destroyed, she would be almost totally blind. The primary visual cortex is also responsible for processing color and detail, so she would likely lose both color and black-and-white vision. Double vision and the ability to see close objects but not distant ones are not likely to be the main effects of the damage to the primary visual cortex.
