Description
I was out walking yesterday around 3pm near Falls Park's North Main entrance in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, when I realized I dropped one of my contact lenses. It's a single Acuvue Oasys lens, clear in the center with a faint blue tint along the outer edge. The lens is tiny, about the size of a pinhead, and I even noticed a tiny micro-scratch on the outer rim that might help someone spot it if they picked it up. If someone finds it, it would mean a lot to me to get it back—I rely on it for daily vision and comfort, and losing it makes everything blur.

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.
