If you peel the onions in a bowl of cold water or under a running tap this will prevent the fumes the cause your eyes to water from escaping into the air and rising up towards your eyes, you could also try this method, refrigerate the onion to cool the fumes that make your eyes water, this causes them to move down toward the floor instead of up toward your eyes.

What can you do when peelings onions to keep from crying?

There are several "sketchy" methods including placing salt on the chopping board, holding a spoon or bread in your mouth, or peeling/chopping them underwater. 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.
