Hello,
It is an age related change and generally no definite treatment is required. If he is a smoker the habit of smoking should be stopped to prevent the progress of the disease. Some physicians used to give drugs like blood thinners for this condition.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
