The eye icon on my layers are not turning off and on. why is this?

I use Photoshop CC. Here is what I did:
I first did a duplicate layer of the background and did a high pass filter on it, I then opened a new layer with a visible stamp on it and did some clamp tool changes and some patch tool changes and some dodge and burn changes, I then opened another new layer with a visible stamp on to blur my background. Following that I did a few new layers (without the visible stamp) to add some definition to my subject's eyes and grouped them. Now when i try and see what my photo looked like before, by switch the eye icon off, it doesn't work. Why is this??

If you made changes only above the background layer ans did not change the background layer when you turn the visibility of the layers above the background off you  should see your original image.  Some screen captures showing the steps and layer stack in the layers palette would be helpful.  A stamp visible layers layer will cover what in layers below make sure all layers above the background have their visibility icon off. So only the background layer is displayed.
