Dr Athena Roufas is an Ophthalmologist (Eye Specialist) based in Newtown, NSW. She works from RPAH Medical Centre, Suite G8, 100 Carillon Avenue, Newtown NSW 2042.
Eye care can be simple, like getting the right glasses prescription, or more urgent, like when an eye looks red and sore. Dr Roufas looks after people who need help with everyday vision checks as well as problems such as dry eyes and eye infections. If your eyes feel gritty, uncomfortable, or you’re struggling with clarity, an eye exam is often the first step.
At appointments, she focuses on listening to what’s going on and checking your eyes properly. That can include assessing your vision and making sure your glasses prescription is up to date. Many people come in after noticing headaches with screen use, trouble reading, or changes that seem to creep in over time.
Dry eyes are also a common reason for seeing an eye specialist. Symptoms like burning, stinging, watering, or a tired-feeling eye can happen for lots of reasons, including things like dry air, long hours on screens, and contact lens wear. Dr Roufas can help with evaluation and treatment options for dry eye symptoms.
She also helps with eye infection evaluation. Redness, discharge, pain, or light sensitivity can be signs that need a proper look. In many cases, getting the right treatment early can help settle things down and reduce the risk of complications.
Dr Roufas speaks English and Greek, which can make visits feel more comfortable for people who prefer either language. She keeps the process clear and practical, so you know what’s being checked and why.
