The invention relates to an anti-dazzle optical film allowing compatible night vision and near-infrared absorption and a preparation method and application thereof; the anti-dazzle optical film comprises an optical transparent film base 20-200 Mu m in thickness and a near-infrared absorbing anti-dazzle coating 3-15 Mu m in thickness and applied to the transparent film base, wherein the near-infrared absorbing anti-dazzle coating contains transparent anti-dazzle microparticles 2-20 Mu m in average particle size and a near-infrared absorbent. With the base being of transparent film, the anti-dazzle optical film allowing compatible night vision and near-infrared absorption which is prepared via a precision wet coating process has excellent night vision compatibility, is less than 0.2% in light transmittance in the near-infrared range of 660-930 nm, is greater than 40% in light transmittance for visible light having wavelength in the range of 400-630 nm, and has excellent anti-dazzle performance and good visibility; the anti-dazzle optical film is applicable to the surface of a liquid display device, an instrument lighting system, and other lighting systems, and allows night vision imaging system compatibility.
