Probably no engine damage. Monitor oil consumption and see if it soars.
You could send a sample off for oil analysis, but that doesn't really tell you anything unless you have been sampling all along. It is only significant if there is a change in the readings in the analysis--it's the trend that counts, not a specific reading.
FWIW, my son was very lax about checking the oil in his Volvo 850. It leaked quite a bit. Multiple times he had to add more than 2 qts. Finally got the leak fixed. Has well over 200K on it now, it still runs well. Yes, it's a Volvo, not a Saab...
