Q: i have shingles on my back. not in my eye. can shingles cause a little blurry vision even if you don't have it in your eye?

: If you don’t have shingles on your face, it would be unlikely to be causing blurry vision. You should see your eye doctor to find out why you are having blurry vision. Good luck to you!
