Dr. Ivana Behin Saric

Pediatrics
After graduating from the School of Medicine, University of Zagreb in 2007, she began working as an intern at the General Hospital in Koprivnica. She started her ophthalmology specialization in 2009 at the Clinical Hospital “Sveti Duh,” where she participated in the project “Amblyopia in Four-Year-Old Children in the City of Zagreb,” contributed to the creation of the ophthalmology textbook "Seminaria ophthalmologica," and engaged in numerous professional training programs. Under the mentorship of Prim. Dr. Sc. Jelena Petrinović-Dorešić, she developed a passion for pediatric ophthalmology and chose to pursue her career working with children. Her goal is to make every eye exam comfortable for children and provide them with the best possible vision quality for life. What brings her the most joy in her work is the genuine smile of a child when they “see” again with their new glasses or contact lenses.
