Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The delayed removal of cataracts would have resulted in reduced visual stimulation during a critical period of development, which could lead to inadequate neural connections in the visual cortex. This would affect overall visual processing and acuity. It is not likely that she would have lost visual receptor cells or be unable to perceive figure-ground relationships or colors, as these are not directly related to cataract removal.
