can each eye be focused separately? null

Both eyepieces are focused together with the center focus adjustment. However, there is an easy way to adjust the right eyepiece to compensate for differences in your eyes. You look through the binocular at a distant object and focus it for your left eye with the center focus wheel WITH THE LENS COVER STILL ON THE RIGHT SIDE LENS. So you are actually looking through the left side of the binocular only, with your left eye, only. Next, you put the lens cap over the Left Lens and uncover the Right Side Lens. BUT ---- DON'T touch the center focus wheel at all. Instead, while looking at the same object, twist the right eyepiece clockwise or counterclockwise a small amount until that same object you were looking at with your left eye is in focus with your right eye. The twisting might be a little tight, but will move maybe 1/4" each way. You'll see under the right eyepiece there are small symbols such as a + 0 - or something like that. Your best setting will be at the center or on one side or the other. You should always keep this "offset" set in the same place so both eyes will focus correctly. It sounds a little complicated, but you can do it. Give it a try a couple times and you'll see how it works. Enjoy.

Yes, these binoculars can have a different adjustment for each eye.

Each eye on the Aculon A211 8x42 can be focused separately.

No each eye can't be focused separately with this particular pair.
