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.

I read something that said to burn a candle while cutting an onion. I tried it and it actually worked.Another method is to cut the onion under water.when cutting onions place your cut pieces into cold water to maintain the tear gases.When you peel your onion dip it in cold water before cutting and continue to dunk it periodically as you cut to keep those tear gases to a minimumonion is also good for those burned rice situations-- just cut an onion in half and put it into the pot of burned rice to eliminate that burned rice odor-- This may not always work with the taste of burned rice but at least you can somewhat control the odor.
