We proposes a new approach for testing the self visual-acuity by using the KS standard optotype. The proposed system provides their hand-gesture recognition method for the convenient response of subjects in the visual acuity measurement. Also, this system can measure a visual-acuity that excludes the examiner's subjective judgement or the subject's memorized guess, because of presenting a random optotype automatically by computer without a examiner. Especially, Our system guarantees the reliability by using the KS standard optotype and its presentation(KS P ISO 8596), which is defined by the Korea Standards Association in 2006. And the database management function of our system can provide the visual-acuity data to the EMR client easily. As a result, Our system shows the 98% consistency in the limit of the ${\pm}1$ visual-acuity level error by comparing the visual-acuity chart test.
