not from a correction power perspective. your brain can accommodate to some degree and you may strain your eye muscles and/or get headaches. but you won't get damage from that. you can get damage if the contacts are not fitted well and get corneal abrasions etc or bacteria buildup if you over-wear.
however, you should still go in to see an eye doctor once in a while. my wife's an optometrist and she has saved several people's lives by finding brain tumors and other serious systemic issues by looking at ocular health.
