Hello
Yes..You may use contact lens without fear
But we have to find out the cause for 6/18 vision...Why it is not 6/6 with Glasses
Consult local opthalmologist and get eyes examined

I think your power prescription is not o k because if NV is N6,then distance vision should be 6/6 or 6/9 but your vision with glass is just 6/18,so l am not convinced with your prescription, you should get your get your refraction done after cycloplegic from experienced ophthmologist.
