Brief Answer:
Scratches may cause headache

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for sending your query to us.
There is a possibility that blurred vision due to scratches may cause eye strain,once you have the glasses changed ,this strain should disappear.We have to keep the options open as there may be some other cause for this headache.Having the glass changed,at least gives you a better vision.
Let us have the glasses changed and wait for a week if headache doesn't disappear,then we start looking for other causes .
Do get back to me in case of any further query in this regard.
