It can.
I have personally does this many a time when one contact lens was ripped and unusable. It takes a bit of getting used too, and I don't recommend doing it for months on end. But if you do it occasionally you probably won't notice if it does make one eye get worse over the other.

The brain knows to stop using the weak, or in this case uncorrected eye. In a young child this would be dangerous because the eye not being used would quit working completely but I think for an adult it is safe and your vision will still be good.

I only know that my friend is a nurse & she wears one lens for nearsightedness in one eye & one for farsightness in the other eye. Works for her! She says the other eye could be damaged.
It would put a strain on the other eye You would need one in both eyes.

Your brain would adjust to use the eye with the contact as the dominant eye. The other could get lazy after prolonged neglect.

The other eye will naturally try to focus, but it is not a good idea to drive.

You loose three dimensional vision, and strain the eye with the contact by causing it to work twice as hard as it's used to.

You'll see ********...lol But, I don't think it will damage the eye to go without one.
