Blurred And Distorted Vision, Intermittent Headaches. Consulted Doctors, Normal Eyes. Diagnosed As Migraine

I have been having vision problems for 6 weeks now. It started with severe blurry and distorted vision. Walls and objects 5 feet away were swirling... Like looking through water. I saw phosphenes often. Straight lines were a moving wave and this may contribute to my preceived polyopia. The visual symptoms have been persistent. That is they do not subside after 30 min or later. Initially I didn't have headache but recently i have experienced intermittent headaches multiple times a day. The visual symptoms have improved but I still see straight lines as a moving wave and polyopia. I'm still experiencing headaches. I've seen 3 optometrists and 1 opthamologist. They all day my eyes/retina is fine. They suggest it maybe migraines. So is this a persistent migraine with aura? Will this recover over time? If so how long should it take?
