Can I use epsom salts as a wash for my cats eyes?

As children whenever we had conjunctivitis mother mixed up Epsom Salts in tepid water to bath our eyes. I have used this eye wash on my dogs when they have had sore eyes. I use pre-boiled water that has cooled then add ½ teaspoon Epsom salts to 1 cup water. I then drizzle the wash over the eyeball. You must be very careful to make sure the water is of good quality and is sterile by boiling it and then letting it cool. Alternatively make a saline mix using normal table salt at the rate of 1 teaspoon to 1 litre of boiled, cooled water to fluch the eye.
