Onion Action Goggles
If chopping onions bring you to tears, you might want to invest in a pair of Onion Action Goggles. They won't fog up, and they provide a foam seal to keep out onion vapors. [via Swissmiss]

Not as cheap or available as Saran Wrap/Plastic food Wrap...Just get a wide and long enough strip (easy to do) and wrap around eyes and twist or tie together behind your head - You may look like a ninja turtle, but you can throw it away after your onion cutting is done...and never have to worry about damaging of misplacing.
It has never fogged up or caused problems seeing, been around for years...
Just ask anyone who has made 'onion strings' by the hundreds of pound for Landry's or Copeland's (and lots of other places and uses).
Like Alton Brown says, the only uni-tasker he wants in the kitchen is a fire extinguisher...and those glasses won't do much else.

I'm pro-onion goggles, as well. I added a pair to my wedding registry this past year, on a whim. To my surprise, I've found myself using and enthusing about them repeatedly. They really do work, and make you feel like a Ninja Turtle while you cook (especially mine, which are green), which is an added bonus, in my book. I have never tried the plastic wrap idea-- do your eyelids really open and close comfortably when wrapped in plastic wrap...don't your eyelashes get smushed into your eyeballs?-- but I try to limit my use of plastic wrap, generally, for environmental reasons.

HAhaha, no, no problem with the eyelids...but there could be just depends on the shape of your head I guess.
Use of plastic wrap was mute, it was in a restaurant that wasn't slowing down anytime soon.
To each his, er her, own I guess...have Santa send me some for Christmas.
