Have macular pucker. doorways wavy, objects larger but see 20/20. could difficulty seeing curbs and turn lanes when driving at night be a symptom?

Check other causes : While macular pucker may cause your symptoms, with excellent visual acuity (20/20) an intervention is not worth the risk of surgery. Also, other conditions may be responsible for your symptoms.

Hard to say: Getting the opinion of a retina specialist that can examine the eye carefully and see what other, if any, eye problems might contribute, would be most appropriate. If there are no other problems and the pucker is identified as the cause symptoms, then the risk of surgery must be weighted against the magnitude of the problem and visual acuity, for surgical decision making.
