A lens cleaning device is provided. The lens cleaning device comprises a rotatable frame 110, a coupling member for coupling the lens cleaning device to a lens 130 of a camera, a wiper 120 slidably mounted on opposing sides of the frame 110 and operable to clean the lens 130 by sliding along the frame 110 between a start and an end position and a driving mechanism configured to move the wiper 120 from the end position to the start position by rotating the frame 110 when the wiper 120 has reached the end position. The driving mechanism may include a driving gear 160, a motor 162 for rotating the driving gear 160, a driven gear164, the driving gear 160 and the driven gear 164 being in engagement such that rotary motion can be transmitted from the driving gear 160 to the driven gear 164 and wherein the frame 110 is mounted on the driven gear 164. A vision system and a method for cleaning a lens of a camera are also claimed.
