Although modern human research specifically focused on eye comfort remains limited, laboratory and animal studies have explored several natural compounds found in Euphorbia hirta.
1. Natural Antioxidant Compounds

Flavonoids
Polyphenols
Other naturally occurring antioxidants
These compounds are being studied for their role in protecting cells from oxidative stress.
2. Anti-Inflammatory Activity
Some experimental studies suggest the plant contains compounds that may help moderate inflammatory processes under laboratory conditions.
However, these findings do not prove that the herb treats eye diseases or improves vision in people.

Many people have historically used it as part of relaxation routines after long periods of visual work.
