when i look at things close up lines in my peripheral vision look wavy

have had my retinas examined and they were fine, i wear glasses but they are not a strong prescription, i think the problem has got worse recently. it is worse with my peripheral vision. it is like a kind of flickering movement. i am sensitive to fluorescent lights because they can trigger auras but i don't know if the auras have caused this problem or indeed if it will get worse. i have migraine auras for 10 yrs.i am a 44 yr old male. when i focus on a line it does not flicker but lines just below my focus flicker. i have searched on the net for metamorphopsia but not found anything related to what i experience. i don't really have any other neurological symptoms except possibly pain in my left foot and left hand. my left foot feels to me as if it does not move normally. i have had a couple of head injuries in my life but i don't know if they are connected. i do not have macular degeneration. thanks for reading this!
