Yes in theory if you chill or refrigerate the onion this will cool the vapours that make your eyes water, this causes them to move down toward the floor instead of up toward your eyes, but I find the best is to is to peel the onions in a bowl of cold water or under a running tap, or try and old wives tale by holding a tea spoon between your teeth.
