We redistribute donated eyeglasses and provide free vision screenings to underserved communities across Miami — because clear sight changes everything.
The Frame Project is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on increasing access to clearer vision through donated eyeglass redistribution and community-based screenings.
Through outreach events and practical, non-diagnostic vision support, we help underserved communities access eyewear resources and basic vision assistance in a more accessible and compassionate way.
Since launching in 2025, The Frame Project has been building a foundation of real, measurable change in Miami's underserved communities.
Our streamlined approach prioritizes speed, accessibility, and immediate impact — no barriers, no complexity.
On-site vision screenings using handheld autorefractors and lensometers to quickly assess each individual's visual needs.
We match each person with donated eyeglasses from our curated, prescription-organized inventory and help connect individuals with additional community eyewear resources when needed.
Glasses are distributed on-site, free of charge, for immediate impact. People leave with clearer vision on the same day.
When diagnostic or advanced care is needed, we connect individuals with appropriate clinical resources and partner organizations.
Every first Saturday of the month, we accompany the Miami Street Medicine team to provide vision support to unsheltered individuals.
Quarterly vision screenings and eyewear support events for residents in transitional housing at Riverside House.

Those small moments — seeing someone's face light up when things come into focus again — always stay with me. Clear vision isn't just a physical change, it's an emotional one too.Nadien D'Arcangelo Founder, The Frame Project · 15+ Years in Ophthalmology
