I was thinking something along those lines. For me I probably need welder's glasses.

My wife once told me the chefs at a place she used to work at would stick out their tongues while slicing. If you wet your tongue and stick it out apparently the vapours cling to that instead of your eyes. It's not perfect but I've been doing it for years and it seems to work quite well though it does make the underside of your tongue taste like onions for a while.

On a serious note, chewing while cutting also prevents tears and is less water consuming.

Back in the 80s when I worked in fast food, we used that trick and would also cut the onions in the walk-in cooler.

I am trying ... just waded through episode #4. Maybe it's like realizing your best friend's kid ... who you really want to like ... is just a messy little, dull, brat ?
The young Rhaenyra, played woodenly by 22 year-old Milly Alcock, appears to have her face either maxed out on botox, or plumped with prostheses ? Alternative hypothesis: she has Down's Syndrome (I worked with disabled populations, including Down's Syndrome adults for several years).
While I find the character of Daemon interesting, for me, none of the other characters measure up to GOT original.
Well, I tried. Maybe with new eyes (surgery next week), it will look better ?

Cataract implants? I went from legally blind to 20/20 in a week.

They did the left eye first, then the right eye, a week later.
I did not realize I was not seeing the world in 3D until it was done.

You had cataract implants? Weird. My wife had her cataracts removed. 🤪
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Cataracts were replaced with lenses inside eye. They are shaped to accommodate eye just as external lenses are shaped. In my case, no special shaping was required.

Oh great - you've needed them for years now.
Herself had her cataract op three weeks ago, and we had to take one of the lenses out of her "walk about" glasses so she could see clearly two weeks ago as the correction it applied meant she could see with her left eye with the glasses on, but not her right, or with her right eye with them off, but not her left.
The op is pretty trivial in surgical terms - about 15 minutes total:
Drops to open the iris fully
Ultrasound to break up the old lens (emulsification)
A tiny hole in the eye big enough to get a syringe needle through
Suck out the old lens
Insert the new lens through the tube and open it up
Remove needle. She had a headache for a few hours, a red eye for a few days and that was that. Sleeping with a cup taped over her eye for a week (so that she didn't rub the eye on the pillow), eyedrops for four weeks, then back to the opticians for new glasses prescription 6 weeks after the op. She got improvement from day two, and her sight just got better as the inflammation of her eye faded away over a week.
Just don't try to drive home afterwards ...
The money is really well spent - don't know what it costs in Thailand, it was a total of £2700 / US$3100 in the UK (or a four year wait for a free op on the NHS thanks to the Covid induced delays!) but I don't regret it at all. It makes a real difference pretty much immediately.
