Visual Acuity (VA) assessment is crucial for early vision screening, yet traditional methods are manual and time-consuming. Despite the advancements in human-computer interaction (HCI), there is no existing system fully addresses accuracy, efficiency and adaptability. This study introduces an intelligent VA assessment system that combines MediaPipe-based static gesture recognition with a novel Naive Bayes Classifier (NBC)-based VA Thresholds Determination (VATD) scheme. This integration offers a non-contact, user-friendly approach for rapid and precise VA testing. The VATD scheme is designed to significantly reduce the number of test trials; thereby, substantially improving the efficiency. Experimental validation confirms the system's high accuracy (96.72%) within a ±0.1 deviation from standard methods, achieves a 68% reduction in test time compared to traditional methods, and offers a 27% efficiency improvement over ANN-based systems. This system promises to enhance VA assessments, particularly for children and adolescents, with its speed, accuracy, and broader applicability.
