The action of cutting onions causes a reaction between chemicals in the onion cell walls and the cells, this produces a form of sulphenic acid gas which makes your eyes water. To reduce the impact on your eyes you can either reduce the amount of gas produced or stop the gas from reaching your eyes. https://youtu.be/KYDNbM0z_RA
