Why Do We Cry When We Are Cutting Onions?

When an onion is cut, the onion’s cells are sliced open. The gaseous substances released by the cells are made of sulphur compounds.

When this gas makes contact with the tears, it is changed into sulphuric acid, which irritates the eyes. The eyes produce more tears in an attempt to both dilute and wash away the irritant.

Myth: Wearing glasses too much will make the eyes "dependent" on them.

Fact: 

Refractive errors (near-sightedness, far-sightedness, or astigmatism) change as kids get older. Many variables come into play, but most of this change is likely due to genetics and continues despite wearing glasses earlier or later or more or less. Wearing glasses does not make the eyes get worse.
