At that prescription, your wife would be at the very upper end of the
possible treatment range. Whether or not it would work for her would
depend on her corneal shape and eccentricity. The generally accepted
mechanism is a redistribution of epithelium from the center of the
cornea to the periphery to make the surface less convex. This
redistribution is not thought to be permanent, and there is generally
some amount of intentional over-correction in the morning.
