They're similar, both are trade names for a type of transparent synthetic
resin.  Perspex is, I think, more similar to Lucite, or is that yet
another trade name for the same thing?

Over the years I've used "Perspex", "Lucite" and "Plexiglass" (courtesy
of the US Air Force!) and they appear to be identical.
