I would do something like this:

    (defun my-eqref-2-ref ()
      (interactive)
      (save-excursion
        ;; Optional:
        (goto-char (point-min))
        ;;
        (query-replace-regexp
         "\\\\eqref{\\([^}]+\\)}"
         "(\\\\ref{\\1})")))

It should cover most cases.  latex.el does this for \label:

    "\\\\label{\\([^\n\r%\\{}]+\\)}"

which is probably even more robust.

Best, Arash
