Referring to a collection of frames for spectacles... also could anyone help also with 'postes' in this sentence:
lle se caractérise par ses montures à forte personnalité, ses lunettes à hauts verres et grands postes, qui permettent de multiples adaptations morphologiques, sans jamais sacrifier à l’esthétique des modèles.
Thank you :o)

big lenses
translation for "postes" - frames

with tall lenses
I would say that "postes" refers to the arms but have nothing to back that up.
