You need to see an optometrist for this. It may just be the nature of your prescription but straight lines appearing bent can (very rarely so please don't panic!) be symptom of an eye condition called Macular Degeneration. Most common in older people, this condition has the power to destroy sight if it isn't caught early enough and damaged cells will never regenerate.
