We know what happens when blind people gain sight, and it isn’t nothing,
This isn’t a helpful or contributive response.
Yes. People can even immediately identify visual objects as corresponding to previously known tactile objects (probably via analogous relationship of parts), even though not perfectly.
I’m under the impression that the empirical fact about this is exactly the opposite:
“Within a week to a few months after surgery, the children could match felt objects to their visual counterparts.”
i.e. not immediate, but rather requiring the development of experience
