Chop onions near a gas flame.
Or refrigerating onions before chopping.

I wear swimming goggles. It helps me through all the batches of salsa we make around here.
Fill a bowl with water and slice the onion under the water.
Keep onions in the fridge. They last longer and no tears!
put on goggles or don't look at it or whistle, they work
There are a few methods that you can try:
1.) When cutting an onion, place the pnion in a bowl of water and cut it while its underwater. This keeps the chemicals from entering the air, and thus wont irritate your eyes. This one works for me everytime!
2.) Another method is lighting a candle when cutting an onion. The flame of the candle atracts the chemicals in an onion that cause our eyes irritation.

I find if you have a glass of water beside you on the countertop it helps.
I am a manager at a Waffle House, so this one I know. Something that always helps me is to cut the onions near a sink on the cutting board of course, but while cutting them run COLD water. Also rinse the WHOLE onion in the COLD water before you cut them. This ALWAYS works for me. Try it.
Cut off the root end first and get rid of it immediately. It is the most offensive part.
Generally I'm cutting 25 to 50 # at a time, Onion soup is big in upstate NY. I set my board down on a table near a window open it and the breeze carries it right past me. Sure everyone else cries but that mist or what ever blows right by me.

I'm a chef.
over the years I have tried a couple of suggestions given to me and one is after peeling the onion then hold the onion under the cold running water from the tap just a few seconds at a time between slicing the onion (it does help a bit) , ... another one is to wear clear safety glasses/gogles as they cover a large area of your eyes, and yes it is very affective... One my daughter in law does which I find very strange and cant see how this could possibly work is hold a metal spoon in your mouth while slicing the onion, it works for her, my daughter put it to the test but the result was still teary eyes..but over the years I have become more imune to the onion, no more tears......
just sort of look away while doing it, or, if you dont want to cut your fingers off, then you should cut some, then walk away for a second, and so on
