Whatever you do, DO NOT use tap water or bottled water. Those can both contain Acanthamoeba, which can get into your eye and cause an infection.
Acanthamoeba is a microscopic parasite that infects the cornea, is difficult to diagnose and extremely difficult to treat. It causes eye pain and blindness.
Go get some sterile saline solution.

Go to the nearest store and pick one up!
I would not suggest using any other liquid, even what seems like clean distilled drinking water. Although if that is the only thing available and have no other alternatives, it would be the best choice.
