a trick I use is to run the ceiling fan on high or put a box fan on the counter set on medium or low blowing in from the side, it keeps the fumes from getting to your eyes and I never tear up.
its so easy and works so well I cant believe its not a standard kitchen practice to use. I found out by accident at camp using a fan to cool off and was amazed chopping up the onions did nothing to me
