Cut them when they are cold. Store them in the frig.

Wear sunglasses. Works like a charm!
Unsolicited tip: Soak hot onion slices in sugar water with a little ice before serving. My Nanny did that, and she had the best onions this side of the Mississippi!

Hi, place a candle nearby when you are cutting the onions. Because the sensitive substance that make us to cry will be burnt under the heat of candle.
Hope I answered the question ;-)

A few suggestions: wear goggles, put the cutting board on the stovetop and run the exhaust fan, drape saran wrap over the cutting area, convince your spouse to cut the onion for you.

Keep all the onions you need to cut in a bowl filled with cold water.then cut them in halves and rekeep in cold water for sometime. It will definitely work

Just breathe through your mouth while you cut the onions... That works with me!

the under water thing is a good idea but can get annoying, gum also works, but also know that different kinds of onions make you more prone to shed tears, so experiment a little with that.

Place a unstriken match in your mouth with the fire side outward--this soaks up the juice from the onions and prevents tears.

Not everybody is sensitive to onions--try finding an immune friend or sibling to cut them for you!

This may look a little strange but cut of piece of bread into two pieces and put the crust side in your mouth. The bread prevent your tears. I never did eat that bread after I used it this way; however.
