Retinal diseases are a leading cause of irreversible vision impairment, making early and accurate diagnosis essential for effective treatment. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) serves as a critical imaging modality for this purpose, yet its automated analysis is hindered by inherent speckle noise, varying lesion scales, and subtle inter-class similarities. To address these challenges, we propose a novel framework, RetiWave-Mamba, which integrates spatial-frequency domain learning with state-of-the-art state space models. The framework utilizes Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) to decompose OCT images into low- and high-frequency streams, enabling decoupled processing of structural context and fine-grained details. For the low-frequency branch, we design a Multi-scale Contextual Localization Module (MCLM), which synergizes multi-scale dilation with spatial attention to expand the global receptive field and precisely localize lesion regions. For the high-frequency branch, we introduce an Attention-Guided High-Resolution Network (AG-HRNet) equipped with an intelligent gating mechanism to suppress noise propagation during multi-scale interactions. Furthermore, a Feature-Adaptive Mamba Projector (FAMP) is incorporated to form complementary channel-wise feature paths and adaptively reweight them using Mamba-generated gates. Extensive experiments on the OCT-C8 dataset demonstrate that our approach achieves a state-of-the-art (SOTA) classification accuracy of 98.38, surpassing existing methods. These results highlight the effectiveness of RetiWave-Mamba in identifying retinal pathologies and support its potential for computer-aided OCT image analysis.
