It can be possible as he would not have know the actual vision . Provided you got it from an ophthalmologist and not from an optical store directly it would most probably be right . It is not uncommon to see those powers in 5 year old . Once he uses the glasses he would know the difference and you can get home checked again after 3 months to know everything is going smoothly
