  Salt water may help eye infection because it's a little bit like physiological saline. Which can reduce your infection then release your eyes. However, you'd better use physiological saline if possible. Salt water can be a little tough for eyes. They may cause other discomforts to eyes. Here is my suggestion, you can use some artificial tears with specific medical usage.

  Yes, it is true that salt water can help eye infection. You can bath with salt water because salt can dry out wounds, disinfect skin diseases and help reduce swelling. What's more you can do gentle swiping, which can loosen and remove debris in your eyes and begin to remove the infection.
