Methods and systems are described for detecting ocular lesions indicative of an ocular pathology. The methods and systems involve obtaining a fundus image of an eye of a patient, preprocessing the fundus image to obtain a processed fundus image applying a detection model to the processed fundus image to identify whether a lesion is present in the fundus image providing an output based on an output result of the detection model. The detection model is configured for detecting ocular lesions in fundus images and the output is related to a lesion being present in the fundus image.
