contents The concept of mutual visibility in a graph encodes combinatorial information about vertex subsets with prescribed visibility properties and serves as a useful algebraic invariant. In this paper, we derive algebraic conditions for the mutual-visibility number of $(d,2)$-graphs with non-negative defect. We then determine this parameter for $(d,2,-2)$-graphs for $d=3$ and $4$, and establish an upper bound for $d=5$. In the case $δ=0$, that is, for Moore graphs of diameter $2$, we focus on the Hoffman-Singleton graph. We establish an upper bound of $20$ for its mutual-visibility number and subsequently employ an integer programming approach to show that this bound is tight. As a corollary, we deduce that the maximum size of an induced matching in the Hoffman--Singleton graph is $10$.
