Is Conjunctivitis Contagious After 3 Days Of Infection?

Hello, I have had conjunctivitis in my left eye for three days and have been putting drops in my eyes for two days. This morning, my right eye is crusty and red. Have I had it in both eyes all along, or did I spread it to my right? And am I contagious now, or has that worn off since the beginning?
