Eyes “not focusing together” can mean many different things. If the two eyes are not aligned straight together, this is called strabismus and can require prism glasses or eye muscle surgery to fix. If the two eyes have very different glasses prescriptions or powers, this is called anisometropia and needs an eyeglasses exam with a skilled optometrist or ophthalmologist to find the right prescription for you. If the difficulty is focusing at near due to age (usually after age 45 or so) this is called presbyopia and requires reading glasses or bifocal glasses to fix.

There are different kinds of conjunctivitis including viral, bacterial, allergic, chemical, etc but viral conjunctivitis is quite common though it can be contagious. I do usually recommend not going to work or working remotely if able to prevent infecting colleagues. If symptoms aren’t resolving within a couple days or certainly if they are worse, an exam with your eye doctor is recommended.
