Onions make guinea pigs eyes sting too, just like it makes ours. The guinea pig is simply keeping its eyes from the sting of the onion.

Watery eyes can be caused by a multitude of things, such as irritation from pollen and other allergens, inflammation, or if there is something in the eye region.
Why you can see with open eyes and not closed eyes?
Well you do see when you close your eyes, just that your eyelids block near enough all the light so you cant see yet you can, if that makes sense...
Why do your eyes sting when near onions?
When you cut through an onion you break open a number of the plant cells. These cells contain enzymes, also amino acid sulphoxides. When they escape, these react and decompose to form sulphenic acid, which is a volatile gas. The gas reaches your eyes and reacts with the water in tears producing a weak sulphuric acid, which irritates the eyes. The body's response to the irritation is to produce more tears in an attempt to dilute the irritant and wash it out of the eyes. When this happens, the temptation is to rub your eyes, but as there is probably onion juice on your hands this only makes things worse.

Why does putting an onion in the freezer help prevent you from crying?
I hadn't heard of this technique, but it makes sense and probably works. You cry when you cut an onion because when you disrupt the cell membrane walls of the onion, you release a gas which causes tears in your eyes. By putting the onion in the freezer, you are probably solidifying this chemical to a certain extent, and preventing the compound from being released. But I think this would probably only work for a certain amount of time before the onion warmed back up, and if you left the onion in the freezer too longer, it probably wouldn't benefit the onion. An alternate technique that Alton Brown has recommended and wouldn't involve any advance steps is lighting a candle near the cutting board, the flame burns off the gases before they reach your eyes.
