You are so welcome!

You have to read this article, which was written by somebody who is visually impaired. He explains why the experience of VR is so much better for people with visual impairments, in so many ways, compared to any other assistive technologies. He states why it is so much more helpful: https://www.alphr.com/virtual-reality/1008932/vr-vision-loss...

There is a visually impaired user who uses the Oculus Quest and Oculus Rift. It is the first person on this thread. You may want to investigate their posts: https://forums.oculusvr.com/community/discussion/86303/low-v...

Here are all of the big accessibility groups that I know of, for VR: https://udl.berkeley.edu/accessibility/xr-accessibility

There is also a very large (500+ person) VR accessibility group: https://www.meetup.com/a11yvr/

This is an accessibility design podcast for VR: https://xrforlearning.io/podcast/designing-accessibility-int...

This is the Microsoft SeeingVR website, with the open source code and YouTube video: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/seeingvr/

I hope this helps. I have been looking into this recently, and I will need all of these resources for my project.
