Chopping onions has no effect on me whenever I'm wearing my contact lenses. 
(Originally hard, now gas-permeable Boston lenses)  For those times when 
I'm wearing glasses, this works perfectly to prevent burning and weeping eyes:

 From the moment you pick up the onion, start breathing through your mouth 
only.  You will not cry!

To remove the lingering scent of onions (or garlic, or fish) from your 
hands, "wash" your hands under running water with a Nonion bar.  The 
stainless steel alloy reacts harmlessly with the scent, completely removing 
it, and the bar will never wear out.  It is a boon to those with sensitive 
skin, as it is not any more harsh than just plain water.  A stainless steel 
spoon will also work, although it is more awkward to "wash" your hands with 
a spoon.

Happy Chopping! (for bialys or bagels or onion lover's twist or onion dill
bread or......)
