There is nothing to worry about.

6/6 is normal vision. The 6/6 line on a distant chart means you should be able to read that line 6 metres away if you have 'normal' vision. Your vision is 6/4.5 which is slightly better then 6/6. This means you can read a line on the chart which a person with 'normal' vision would have to stand 4.5 metres to read.

Both of your eyes have good visual acuity.

Your near vision acuity: You are able to read N5 print (note: not NS). This means you can read fine prints at a near point.

You should be able to pass the Class 1 visual standard in this regard provided your lens power does not exceed +/-5D and your eyes are not anisometropic (differences in lense power required in the two eyes) by no more then 2D. You did not mention the lens prescription in your post so I cant tell.

Any more questions feel free to ask. Thats what PPrune is all about.
Hope I helped.
