I set the onion in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes and grab a stick of gum. Both are known to be helpful and they really are. And, if the onion is really pungent and might not be good in whatever dish, you can rinse the onion after cutting it.

However, once you out them into a hot pan after chopping they almost always stop affecting one's eyes anyway. -- Chill the onions before peeling/chopping ... some time in the freezer, but not necessary to freeze them completely. -- Pass the onion through a light stream of cold water from the faucet every 15-20 seconds during the surgery.
