Onion cutting tears are usually provoked by inhaling the vapors, not from the vapors contacting the eyes. Wearing a dust mask or bandanna helps reduce onion cutting eye stinging and watering. Keeping the onions cold and using a very sharp knife help too.
Its not 100% drip free, but it cuts it way back. My riding glasses, Tifosi bi-focals, have vents in each lens, and I can feel real cold air on my eyes, but it is much less than without the glasses. If you have allergies and some type of pollen causes you to have the runny nose, all bets are off. I am really lucky about that problem maker, though.
