A luminous optical laryngoscope comprising a longitudinal body (10) with a first straight section and a curved section after the previous section with a proximal end coinciding with the free end of the first straight section and a distal end at the opposite end of the proximal end, with a lighting device at said proximal end, said body being formed by at least a first conduit (18), used for viewing the inside of the patient, and said viewing conduit having a closed cross-section in its entire length and limited therein by an upper surface (11), a lower surface (12), a side cover (20), a side partition (13) and two optical elements inside it, characterized in that it comprises at least:
- One resistance (61) joined to at least one lens or prism (37),
- One temperature sensor (62) adjacent to said resistance (61),
- One temperature control device (63) connected to at least said resistance (61) and said sensor (62),
- One battery powering the above, and
- One flexible sealing gasket (50) into which said at least one lens (37) together with said at least one resistance (61) are inserted, said assembly formed by the lens (37) and the resistance (61) being located in the body (10) of the laryngoscope.
