It seems that you have got something wrong with onions. As you know, onions is really irritative to our eyes though they are very delicious. So, if you want to get rid of that feeling, I suggest that you try to wear a pair of glasses or something to prevent their juice. And get some normal saline to flush your eyes if you get some of it splashed into your eyes. Hope you find this useful.
