    Cocaine has little medical use. Because of its anesthetic effect, it was used for eye surgery. But because of its profound ability to vasoconstrict blood vessels (that is, make veins and arteries narrow, thus stopping bleeding), it can lead to scarring and delayed healing of the cornea. It is still available for use in the nose for surgery, stopping nosebleeds, and as a local anesthetic for cuts in children.
