Kent-based Buchanan Optometrists was invited to adapt and restore a selection of vintage eyewear for American film director Wes Anderson’s latest movie.

Anderson’s The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar is a 39-minute adaptation starring A- list actors like Ralph Fiennes, Benedict Cumberbatch, Dev Patel, Ben Kingsley, and Richard Ayoade.

Based on Roald Dahl’s 1977 anthology, the film was shot entirely in Kent, primarily at Maidstone Studios and the Maidstone Business Hub on the river.

The practice team adapted and restored each original, fragile and sometimes inflammable piece to its original glory using specialised techniques, such as hand polishing and acetone polishing.
