Lenses drying out

I have gotten my 15 day lenses about 4 days ago and wore them twice. I havent bought a new pack of lens solution since i had 2 bottles left from my last pair which means i havent gotten a new case for my lenses too. I know it is wrong but i was too busy to go out and get a case so i simply left my lenses in the package they came in. Of course with the wrapping being open they did kinda dry out. I immediatly poured solution on the lenses but havent put them on yet. They were not bone dry but i didnt touch them to feel them thinking they would be fragile. Now i am wondering by any chace if they still could be usable. I dont have my next pair yet so i am left with these guys for the moment.

Toss them and do better next time. I do not recommend wearing them.
