That's why you cut out the base of the bulb first (toss the piece into a soup or something if you don't want to waste it). Or just julienne the whole bunch quickly with a sharp knife.
Alternatively, chewing gum or bread works too (still stings, but usually you won't cry, thanks to the airflow). Useful if you're the type who likes to chew gum, otherwise, no.
Goggles are for sissies. Soaking methods? Wastes flavor.

or you can wet the knife or freeze the onion for a bit
If you have to soak it in water, you're doing it wrong.
You only need to dunk it in a bowl of water after cutting it in half. Or, even better, run them under the faucet for a grand total of... 1 second. I've never had trouble with cutting onions since.
I hate onions!!
