I can understand your wifes fears. I would be the same. I do have eye problems but not what you are stating or was it from surgery but it may be rsd in my eyes. Anyhow if I were your wife I would talk to the eye doctor about having rsd. Also if she has a pain doctor or if she does not to get one pre surgery that deals with rsd. Obviously in life we with rsd may have a surgery that is needed but that is the only kind I would have. WIth that I would really make everyone aware and have a plan. Even with my orthodontic work with the opinions I got the doctor I went with was very cautious about my condition. With my eyes I have seen I would say 10 specialists and most know very little about rsd. So that will be an issue and why getting her rsd docs involved may be wise. Hopefully though your wife will be fine.
