Blue Acuvue Oasys contact lens, single lens, lost
Description
Yesterday around 3pm I realized a blue Acuvue Oasys contact lens was missing after I left a cafe on Lark Street in downtown Albany. It’s a clear lens with a faint blue outline, the kind I wear every day, so I noticed right away it was gone when I looked down. I retraced my steps and spotted it under a streetlight near the Empire State Plaza by the Capitol building. It has a barely-visible scratch on the outer rim and a tiny smear of mascara on the outer surface—pretty unique if you look closely. I really need it back; I’m running low on lenses until I can see my optometrist. If you found it, please get in touch.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
