CS (that is the colloid) doesn't make people blue, CS helps prevent it. Silver compounds are what make people blue (that is the ionic silver). Silver chloride is a silver compound, but has a very limited solubility of about .8 ppm. Your tears are salty, so you are going to get the same amount of silver chloride whether you add the salt before adding to the eye, or after, the only difference is that a saline solution will not cause burning due to the electrolyte imbalance. Also if you add and let the excess silver chloride precipitate out, there will be that much less silver chloride in your eye, which if argyria is a concern would be an advantage.

    Even distilled water can make the eye uncomfortable. If you mix just
    enough salt in it to make it a saline solution, it will be less of a
    problem.  However all the ionic portion over about .8 or so ppm will
    settle out, but the colloidal portion will be untouched.
