Saccades move the eyeball and the retina, so they can't change where
on the retina the focused-on text projects to. The only place with
enough resolution to discern letters is the fovea, and the fovea projects to
both right and left hemispheres. (The "right field of vision" projected
to the left hemisphere overlaps some with the "left field of vision",
which is projected to the right hemi.)
