Last week i had an eye infection and this week i have strep. are they related?

Not likely: The germ that causes strep does not usually cause infection in the eye.

Sure it's strep?: Are you sure it was strep? If it was just a sore throat that was not confirmed as strep, then you may be having viral conjunctivitis from an adenovirus.
