A knife with a sharp, thin blade is best suited for this procedure.

Secondly, water

Wet your cutting board and knife in cold water before you begin cutting.

Thirdly, onions

Before cutting the onion, place it in cold water for a couple of minutes.

If time permits, you can keep it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.

The low temperature will make the onion juice less irritating.
