Memphis-area company making solar eclipse viewing glasses

Associated Press  

BARTLETT, Tenn. — Next year, North America will see one of the largest and most impressive solar eclipses in living memory. Bartlett-based American Paper Optics is the world’s largest 3D optics company as well as the largest supplier of safe solar eclipse glasses. The company, founded in 1990, sold 45 million pairs of eclipse glasses before the 2017 solar eclipse and in the run-up to next year’s ― and an annular eclipse, sometimes known as a “ring of fire” eclipse, in the western United States this fall ― the company hopes to sell upward of 75 million pairs. That will provide optimal viewing of what website Great American Eclipse calls “nature’s greatest sight.” Jerit also encouraged people from the Mid-South to make their way into the path of totality that Monday. American Paper Optics and NASA have detailed information on their websites about what to expect, where the best viewing spots will be, where to purchase eclipse glasses and other information for those looking to view this year’s annual eclipse and next year’s total eclipse.
