Blue-tinted Acuvue Oasys contact lens (left, single)
Description
Hey, I lost my blue-tinted Acuvue Oasys contact lens yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Elmwood Ave at Allen Street in Buffalo. It's just a single lens from my left eye, with a subtle blue tint that helps me spot it if it lands on the sidewalk. There’s a tiny scratch along the outer edge that makes it look a little cloudy in bright light. I was wandering from the Elmwood Village area toward the Canalside side when it slipped out of my pocket after brushing past a bike rack by the corner. I really need it back— I can’t drive or work properly without my lenses, and I’d be grateful for any help finding it.

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.
