Surgery

There is no treatment that directly interferes with the disease process, although dietary restriction of calcium has been tried with limited results. For excessive areas of skin, plastic surgery may be needed. For the growth of abnormal blood vessels in the retina, laser eye surgery may be needed in forms similar to that used in diabetic retinopathy (eye damage due to diabetes). Cardiovascular disease is treated as in individuals without PXE. Some recommend avoidance of medication that would increase bleeding risk, such as aspirin
