Abstract—Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a widely used non-invasive imaging modality that enables detailed visual-ization of retinal microstructures and supports early diagnosis of retinal diseases. However, manual interpretation of OCT scans is time-consuming, subjective, and highly dependent on clinical ex-pertise, which limits scalability in real-world healthcare settings. Although deep learning-based approaches have demonstratedstrong performance in automated retinal disease classification,  most existing systems lack interpretability, clinical workflow integration, and automated diagnostic reporting. This paper presents a comprehensive Smart OCT-based Reti-nal Disease Diagnosis System that integrates ensemble deep learn-ing with AI-driven intelligent agents to enhance clinical usability.An ensemble model combining EfficientNetB0 and VGG-16 is employed to perform eight-class retinal disease classification,including Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV), Central Serous Retinopathy (CSR),Diabetic Macular Edema (DME), Diabetic Retinopathy (DR),Drusen, Macular Hole (MH), and Normal retina. Beyond classi-fication, the system incorporates LangGraph-based AI agents to  automatically generate diagnostic reports, provide visual explana-tions using Grad-CAM, and produce patient-friendly summaries.The proposed framework achieves 95.6% classification accu-racy while addressing key limitations of existing OCT-based di-agnostic systems through improved interpretability, automation,and scalability. Extensive experimental validationdemonstratesthe system’s capability to assist ophthalmologists in making fasterand more accurate diagnostic decisions.
