Clear Acuvue Oasys contact lens, lost near Derby Market Place
Description
I lost my clear Acuvue Oasys contact lens yesterday around 3pm outside Boots on Victoria Street, Derby, near the Market Place and the Cathedral Quarter. It’s just one lens from my prescription, the right eye, so it’s easy to miss unless you’re looking for it. The lens is nearly transparent but has a tiny micro-scratch on the edge and a faint blue tint along the outer rim when the sun hits it. I really need it back—it’s essential for reading and daily tasks, and replacing it isn’t easy right now. If you found it, I’d appreciate a quick note here so we can arrange a safe meet-up nearby in the Cathedral area.

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.
