The old Samsung GearVR had problems but the Visual Adjustment Wheel let me see perfectly without glasses. I was so dissapointed and frustrated when i first got the Quest 2 and realized I would have to wear my glasses WHILE playing. It was ridiculous and ended up costing me an extra $150 to buy custom VR lenses. I just dont understand why this feature was not included, its nuts!

Just to clarify, you said "The old Samsung GearVR had problems but the Visual Adjustment Wheel let me see perfectly without glasses"
The adjustment wheel on the GearVR is a diopter adjustment, it moves the screen closer or further to the lenses.
As my list shows, all first party oculus headsets have different adjustment features (which is why I said they keep changing their mind), but none of them have a diopter adjustment. Some do have eye relief, but this is different and won't help you. That's why I said "It's the diopter adjustment that you want" because that's the part of the GearVR that helped you but the Quest 2 (and all other oculus headsets) is missing.
Sadly most headsets in general don't have diopter adjustment these days.

They do seem to like changing their mind a lot.
DK1: fixed IPD, eye relief adjustment
DK2: fixed IPD, eye relief adjustment
Rift CV1: continuous IPD, no eye relief
Rift-S: fixed IPD, eye relief adjustment
Go: fixed IPD, no eye relief
Quest 1: continuous IPD, no eye relief
Quest 2: three discrete IPDs, no eye relief
Quest Pro: continuous IPD, eye relief adjustment
GearVR: fixed IPD, diopter adjustment
Eye relief changes the distance between the lenses and your eyes. Diopter changes the distance between the lenses and the screen. It's the diopter adjustment that you want.

No it's not, I keep seeing this reply to this question, the diopter adjustment does not affect your vision at all if you're near sighted like myself. The focus wheel on the GearVr allows me to see perfectly without glasses, regardless of the where the IPD is set. IPD and the diopter dial change nothing for my actual eyesight when using the Quest.

Well, the diopter wheel on a Quest won't affect your vision, since it doesn't exist.
