Yes it can. That is all that most eye washes/drops are; salt water (with some preservative added in). You can even make your own if you have distilled water and salt. Make sure to use distilled water because water carries contaminants very well. And use what you make right away since your not adding a preservative.

Is saltwater pools sore on your eyes?

True salt water pools have the same parts per million (ppm) as sea water which is roughly 35,000 ppm. We have a salt taste threshold of around 3,500 ppm and our eyes have about 7,000ppm. Most chlorine generators require a salt content of 3,000-5,000 ppm in the pool.
