Ranged Tops

Can melee champions have some sort of early item to make laning against ranged champs less miserable? I had game as Jax against Vayne top, and the first 5 minutes were terrible. I couldn't cs at all, and Vayne got way ahead of me. I managed not to die at all, but then my jungle traded a kill with her, and everything got worse. Ok. I continue to get like 1 cs a minute, having to recall every couple of seconds to get mana and health back, while Vayne goes off to other lanes and picks up kills off of other lanes. I don't see why people don't do ranged tops more often since without a coordinated team you just spend the entire early game getting shit on, and are too far behind to contribute later.

Maybe some sort of starter item that lets you fight back a little? Or at least reduce the damage.
