Abstract
A cleaning tool for an optical surface, particularly well adapted to the cleaning of optical surfaces which access is difficult. The cleaning tool includes an injector (8) which can send a cleaning liquid, and then a drying gas, under pressure onto the optical surface (2), and a jacket (9) for the evacuation of the cleaning and drying fluids. The tool has a neck (13) to fit onto an optical tip associated with an optical fiber.
