Run the cold water tap and chop the onions next to the sink with the water still running.

Put cayenne pepper in them. Then they'll be watering from the pepper not the onions.
How can I reduce tearing when cutting an onion?
Reduce tearing when cutting onions by first chilling the onions for 30 minutes. Cut off the top and peel the outer layers leaving the root end intact. (The root end has the largest concentration of sulphuric compounds that make your eyes tear.)

Wear a snorkel mask (without the snorkel).
The only way you really get used to cutting onions is to cut them up a lot, and after a while, they don't affect you as much. Also, try sweet onions when they're in the grocery store, because they make your eyes water less.

While your chopping you need to stop and rinse the inside of your wrists under very cold water.

I turn on a fan while chopping, either a ceiling fan or stand fan next to me in the kitchen works very well.

Wash the onions properly or wear simple goggles.
