Narrative:
While executing a visual approach into runway 23 at clt we experienced wake turbulence from a 757 ahead of us. We were coupled to the ILS 23 approach at the time with both glideslope and localizer centered. Leading up to the approach for spacing; ATC had us slow down. We complied with the speeds and it seemed that there was adequate separation. Once recovered from the wake turbulence; we did a go-around. I asked ATC for a heading and altitude for time to complete some checklists for EICAS messages that resulted from the wake turbulence. Once we completed each checklist we were put back into sequence with no more issues.follow proper wake turbulence avoidance procedures especially when VFR and visual approaches are in use. Understand that when a visual approach is in use there is a chance the plane ahead of you is not on glide path.
