someone in someone's eyes
Does this mean anything to you? Please help better it or make me understand.
If you compare me to John in his wife's eyes, who do you think would win. John might be the best person but John in his wife's eye's is the best person ever. If the public sees what his wife sees in him, I've got no shot at winning. I have to make sure people see him for who he really is.

The expression "in his wife's eyes" is being used metaphorically. It really means "in his wife's opinion". The paragraph is saying that John's wife is prejudiced and not 'seeing' her husband accurately or clearly.
