Memphis-Area Optics Firm Preparing for Summer’s Solar Eclipse

by Michael Polzella

The sun may be this summer’s biggest headliner, with August 21 marking the biggest astronomical event Americans have seen in the past century — a solar eclipse.

Not since 1918 has a total eclipse cut a 70-mile-wide swath across the entire continent. Enter American Paper Optics, a Memphis area firm that manufactures a variety of durable 3D plastic glasses and has established itself as a leading distributor of high-quality solar eclipse viewing glasses.

John Jerit of American Paper Optics said the eclipse “really gives some great opportunities to see something quite amazing or to take some spectacular photographs.”
