Left gray contact lens lost in Jacksonville
Description
I was at the St. Johns Town Center in Jacksonville yesterday around 3pm, wandering between Barnes & Noble and the Starbucks. While I rubbed my eye, I think I dropped my left contact lens on the sidewalk near the entrance on Town Center Parkway. It's a standard left-eye, gray-tinted soft lens; under bright light you can see a faint blue edge. There was a tiny mascara smear along the outer rim from my makeup that day. It's small and tough to spot on the pavement, so I really need someone to find it and return it. It matters to me for daily use and comfort. If found, email me at [email protected].

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.
