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.

The future was never like this!
I've heard some horror stories about whole
(expensive!) sheets of plexiglass
simply breaking in half when incorrectly drilled through.
Question - is plexiglass the same as perspex, or is it a totally
different animal?
