Is it possible to know the cause of your myopia?

Recently, a friend of mine asked me the cause of my myopia.
I don't remember the words she used, but after a few researches I think she talked of the curvature of the cornea and the refractive index of the crystalline lens.
My question is: is there a way to know which one caused your myopia? For example, is it written on your lenses prescription? Or do you have to ask an eye specialist?

I hope this is clear enough! Thank you for taking the time to read!

(Not sure if it's important, but as a child I have spend most of my nights reading with little light, so I guess it's the 'visible' cause of my myopia.)
