For chlorine, if greater than 3 ppm, it can cause red eye but is generally not harmful unless it exceeds that by a lot. However, it is not good for young children at greater than 3 ppm since it will cause a burning sensation, so they should wait until levels lower to 3 ppm before entering.

Salt water is no worst than the ocean, but if levels exceed 100 grams/liter, like the Dead Sea or Great Salt Lake, you need to wash off as it will be uncomfortable.

No. You do not get any problem to your eyes, by swimming in salt water pool. The amount of chlorine that has to be added to disinfect the water is very less. Only few parts per million. It is not totally safe. But there is nothing on the earth that is 'totally safe'. The other options are not to go for swimming or do it in unsafe and infected water. The concentrated chlorine is very dangerous to your eyes. Salt water from the sea is harmless to your eyes, if it is clean and filtered.

What is the best way to treat irritated eyes after swimming?

If you are getting eye irritation in a saltwater swimming pool it is most likely due to overproduction of chlorine. so the thing to do is test the chlorine content of the water and if it is over adjust the setting so it produces less chlorine. A salt water pool should be less irritating on the eyes because the correct salt content is approximately the same as the amount of salt found in tears. or in saline eye drops.
