been wearing contacts for decades now. i sleep with my contacts in every night, its not that big a deal. my optomotrist used to give me S about it even though I never got any eye infections or scratched corneas or nothing. She finally just moved me over to 30 day continuous wear lenses (Air Optix Night & Day) since I was too stubborn/lazy to take them out every night.

Not that big a deal? You were just lucky. It's not eye infections you get from sleeping in contact lenses (like pink eye and similar things) but sight threatening corneal infections. Simple antibiotics don't work and for the really serious ones the treatment is brutal - try drops every 30 minutes, day and night, for 3 or 4 days.
But, what do I know, I just spend my days treating folks who abuse the lenses either through laziness or to save a few bucks skimping on lenses or cleaning solution.
This.Been wearing contacts for exactly 5 years. Putting them in and taking them out is like second nature now. One tip, disposables can last a while as long as you take them out every night and put them in your case. I stretch my 2 week contacts to a month, even 2 months sometimes.

I rock my joints 'til the wheels start falling off (vision becomes blurry).
I take a 6-month prescription & turn that into 1-year
Wore contacts from when I was 18 to 25. Switched to Ortho-K lenses over a year ago.
It's pretty trippy especially after being used to contacts as it's doing the opposite as far as when you wear the lenses.
Long story short, you wear the Ortho-K lenses when you go to sleep and it compresses your eyes to 20/20 vision (as long as you get at least 4-6 hours of sleep in them) and you wake up, take the lenses out and you have 20/20 vision (or pretty close to 20/20) for the day.
Has its pros and cons. It's cool not having to wear any glasses/lens and being able to see 20/20 but gotta remember to put the lenses in before you go to sleep. Sometimes I just wanna doze off and go to sleep but gotta make myself get up and put the lenses in lol.
thats wild

My eyes are already some **** so I don't eem think it's possible for my vision to get worse.This.Been wearing contacts for exactly 5 years.

So, we're on our second risk factor now - wearing them too long significantly increases the risk of serious infections - again not just pink eye etc, but sight threatening conditions.
You might as well just buy the cheapest lenses - there's no point buying a good quality breathable lens and stretching it - surface deposits stop oxygen transfer (and the surface from wetting properly so that's why they get uncomfortable - and your vision gets blurry). That lack of oxygen also has an effect on long term health - your cornea needs oxygen to stay clear as it absorbs oxygen from the atmosphere rather than through blood supply like most of your body.
