An ultrasonic lens cleaner structure includes a lens of a device of a vehicle. The lens having an external surface disposed externally of the vehicle and exposed to environmental elements. An ultrasonic transducer is associated with the lens and is tuned to a resonance frequency of the lens. A frequency source is constructed and arranged to drive the ultrasonic transducer. When frequency generator drives the ultrasonic transducer at the tuned resonance frequency of the lens, the lens will vibrate at the tuned resonance frequency so as to remove or prevent the environmental elements from collecting on the external surface of the lens.
