No, the simplex does not cause blindness. It may cause swollen glands, cold sores and other minor symptoms.

Actually, upon doing some research, I found that a girl in Ohio lost her sight after a severe case of herpes simplex in the eyes. She did later regain it to some degree, but her eyes were permanently damaged and she was legally blind for almost 3 years.

Only if you happen to contract herpes in your eyes. The other types of herpes don't cause loss of vision.

A herpes infection in the eye can affect eyesight by causing scarring. A herpes infection elsewhere in the body will not affect eyesight.
