Scratches have to be quite severe to cause eye strain by diffracting the light.
Most likely, it can be either due to weak eye muscles causing convergence insufficiency or change in spectacle power
Next Steps
In either case please consult with nearby Ophthalmologist

Eye strain can happen if you have a glass number and not using it. Please consult local ophthalmologist for glass number check.
