The fact Touko is the creator of the mystic eye killers in Tsukihime and Fate would suggest that Shiki in fact can't turn her eyes off, at least not entirely. Otherwise there'd little reason for Touko to bother developing them. (but who knows with the way all this crazy Nasu continuity stuff works. >_>)

Though for a more related example, even though her eyes were initially "off" in Movie 3, Shiki still noticed Fujino's ruptured appendix.


So long story short, Shiki probably always sees something, but she doesn't see the full extent of the lines nor can she trace them unless she turns her eyes "on". And since Shiki has a taste for murder and all that, she probably just doesn't mind.
