I’d doubt that. Compound eyes have inferior resolution compared to mammal/reptile/bird eyes.

E.g. a compound eye with the angular resolution of your current eyes would be about the size of your head.

Edit: nope, even bigger:

>To see with a resolution comparable to our simple eyes, humans would require very large compound eyes, around 11 metres (36 ft) in radius.
